“I think you have done well with the treatment“Mahomes said, according to The Athletic. “That’s the reason you play this game, push to play. I’m not going to put our team in a bad position.. It’s about seeing where I am, I’m a competitor and I want to go out there to play”.
Mahomes’ presence is very important in the fight for first place in the American Conference. The Chiefs will host the Houston Texans this Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium; Both teams have already secured their places in the playoffs, but the game will be key to defining the positions.
The Chiefs’ schedule is complicated because After the duel against the Texans they will travel to Pittsburgh to play their third game in 10 days on Christmas. Mahomes is aware of the importance of being victorious in both games because that would represent a bigger break in a game against the Denver Broncos that could have little importance.
“If we go out and win two games we will more than likely have a long layoff with that Week 18 game,” Mahomes said for the Kansas City Star. “As important as it is to be healthy, it is to get that No. 1 seed. If you can overcome these matches and win them against two great rivals. “It will give you some momentum heading into the playoffs and hopefully give you a little bit of a break there at the end.”
