Patrick Mahomes | Winning Ugly
After a tough win where he threw two interceptions, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes talked about winning ugly. He was asked, "How do you respond when things aren't going your way?"
He said, "You can only control the next play and do what you need to do the next play. Nothing in the past matters. You keep throwing and you keep putting it out there and letting your guys have chances. You have to keep fighting and you can't worry about interceptions that happened in the past. I have to be more careful with the football but I still have to be me."
He then said, "No one ever points fingers on this team. If something goes bad, you pick your teammates up and keep fighting. It won't always be perfect, but we are always going to respond and have each other's back because that is what makes a great football team.
