Patrick Mahomes said he “would love to win a game [before] the very last play” after the Chiefs beat the Panthers on a field goal as time expired Sunday.
— After the Kansas City Chiefs secured their fifth walk-off victory of the season Sunday, quarterback Patrick Mahomes said he will take the wins any way he can get them but would rather they be less stressful at the end.
“You want to have some blowouts’,’ Mahomes said after the Chiefs beat the Carolina Panthers 30-27 on rookie Spencer Shrader’s 31-yard field goal as time expired. “You want be a little calmer in the fourth quarter. I’ve always said it can be a good thing as you get to the playoffs and later in the season, just knowing that you’ve been in those moments before and knowing how to kind of attack it.
“But I would love to win a game [before] the very last play.”
The 10-1 Chiefs have eight wins by one score, tying an NFL record for the most by any team in the first 11 games of a season. Half of their wins have come down to the final play. One of those victories was decided by a blocked field goal, one on an overtime touchdown, one when an opposing receiver missed getting a foot down in the end zone by inches and now two by field goals.
