Not only did he try, but he mostly succeeded.
For the third time in four years, Patrick Mahomes will participate in the Super Bowl this Sunday. But unlike the previous two qualifiers, Kansas City did not necessarily start in the shoes of the big favorite in the AFC this season, in particular because of the departure of star receiver Tyreek Hill. And that forced Mahomes to take his leadership role even more to heart.
Tuesday, during the Chiefs’ media session in Scottsdale, the KC quarterback was asked about his leadership, and how his evolution has manifested this year.
“I had to be even more demanding in the locker room. I had to make sure we were doing things the right way. When we weren’t rigorous enough in training, I took the lead to make sure we corrected what needed to be corrected. It’s something I’ve learned over the years and this season I tried to take control even more. »
Result, despite the departure of Hill and the doubts that followed, the attack of Kansas City was once again a hit this year: 1st in the NFL in the number of yards, 1st in the NFL in the pass, 1st in the NFL in the number points, and thus a new title of champion of the AFC.
An impressive record that should allow Pat Mahomes to win a second title of MVP of the regular season this Thursday. Before maybe that of MVP of the Super Bowl in a few days…
