Overview
- Patrick Mahomes said the Chiefs’ inconsistency “starts with me” after the defeat that leveled their record at 5-5.
- Mahomes threw a red-zone interception to Ja’Quan McMillian instead of throwing the ball away to set up a short field goal, and Denver turned it into its lone touchdown.
- Early deep shots went awry, including an overthrow to Xavier Worthy by about three yards, as Mahomes struggled to find rhythm.
- Mahomes finished 29-of-45 for 276 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and a final possession with four minutes left produced no first downs before a closing sack.
- All five Chiefs losses have been one-score games as division odds lengthened to +500 at ESPN BET, with an 8-2 Colts visit to Arrowhead up next.
