Kansas City won its fifth straight game and moved to an AFC best 5-1 on Thursday night, but Patrick Mahomes says the team still has « a lot of room to improve. »
— The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos for the 16th consecutive time on Thursday night while winning their fifth straight game and moving to an AFC-best 5-1.
But much of the talk in their locker room after their 19-8 victory was about its uninspiring manner. While the Chiefs on defense strangled Russell Wilson and the Broncos for most of the game, allowing Denver its only touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, Patrick Mahomes and the offense were searching for answers.
The Chiefs scored one touchdown in five trips inside the Denver 20 and needed four field goals from Harrison Butker, one being from 60 yards on the final play of the first half, to prevail.
Even coach Andy Reid, who has never seen his team claim an ugly victory, said, « We strive for something better than what we’re doing right now. »
The Chiefs aren’t exactly struggling on offense this season.
