ANDY Reid has sent a message to his Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during their struggles.

Following the Chiefs‘ 31-28 Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys last week, the team sits at .500 with six wins and six losses.

Head coach Andy Reid needs Mahomes to get cooking if they are to reach the Super Bowl once more, as they have done for the past two seasons.

 

 

 

Mahomes threw four touchdowns during the loss to Dallas to show signs of his best, but coach Reid has made it clear the quarterback needs to work on his chemistry with some of the wide receivers.

“Yeah, they’re (wide receivers) doing okay,” Reid said.

 

 

 

“I was proud of one (Xavier Worthy) and four (Rashee Rice), they both pushed through some nagging things there with the ankle and the hamstring to get themselves out there and actually get out and play.

 

 

 

“They had some good plays and big plays for us.

“For the most part, yeah, they’re on the same page with the quarterback (Patrick Mahomes).”

 

 

 

The Chiefs have just four regular season games left to salvage their season, beginning Sunday night against the Houston Texans.

Mahomes insists he has an open dialogue with his head coach and has been hard at work with his teammates over Thanksgiving.

 

 

Mahomes said, “I mean, I’m always talking to coach [Reid].

“I mean, obviously we’re in a spot in the season where you can have some time off, but you’re looking ahead at how to get yourself better – to try to make a run.

 

 

 

“And I talk to all the coaches about things that I see and things that I think we can continue to get better and better at.

“At the end of the day, they’re going to they’re going to do what’s best for us and put us in the best situation to succeed.

“And I’ll give as much input as I can to help with that, but I trust they’re going to go out there and put us in the right position.”

 

 

 

Kansas City faces Houston on Sunday before battling the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15.

Kansas City will then finish the regular season by playing the Tennessee Titans – who lead the AFC West – the Denver Broncos and the Las Vegas Raiders.

 

 

 

They enter this critical stretch of the season having lost three of their last four games.
