PATRICK MAHOMES REMAINING POSITIVE IN MIDST OF CHIEFS WOES: ‘WE CAN GO DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO’

He said there were “little things” he had to improve upon going into Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.”You have to be critical with yourself. You have to be true to what’s on the film and what’s happening,” he added.

I think a lot of people will make excuses, and that’s why they don’t take that next step or become better because of it. You have to see the film. You look at the film. We made a lot of mistakes that you can’t make in this league if you want to have success. You have to learn from them and get better from them

If you look at it and try to make an excuse for why something happened or (say) it’s not your fault because this thing happened, that’s when that kind of stuff snowballs. If you look at the film and say, ‘Hey, I’ve got to be better here. I have to (have) better footwork. I have to work the pocket better, get the ball out of my hands when I need to.’

“And (you) learn like that, then you can be better that next week. We’re just going to take that; this is a great defense (the Bengals) that we are playing.”
