Patrick Mahomes Takes Blame for Chiefs' Inconsistency and Losing Ways

Following the Kansas City Chiefs' 22-19 Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos, which dropped them to 5-5, Patrick Mahomes accepted responsibility for the team's struggles, stating, "It starts with me." He acknowledged a lack of consistency, citing missed throws and protection issues. Despite Mahomes' performance (18 touchdowns, 6 interceptions through 10 games), the Chiefs have lost five one-score games this season after going 11-0 in such contests last year. The team ranks ninth in points scored and fourth in points against, but a challenging schedule and close losses have impacted their record.
