Patrick Mahomes doesn't want the Kansas City Chiefs to take their foot off the gas after their hot start to the 2026 NFL season. The Chiefs opened up their season with a dominant 31-10 win over the Denver Broncos. Then on Sunday night, the team secured a 33-30 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
Kansas City looks like a completely different team this year, bouncing back from their disappointing campaign in 2025. Last year, the Chiefs went 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014 as Mahomes suffered a season-ending ACL/LCL tear in Week 15. While fans and analysts are beginning to heap praise on this year's Chiefs team, Mahomes wants to "stay hungry" moving forward.
"In this league, it's week-to-week. All offseason, we heard about how bad we were. How can you keep that hunger now that everyone is praising you, telling you you're great?
We're nowhere near where we want to be," Mahomes told reporters on Wednesday, via team reporter Charles Goldman. "You have to go out every week and have that mentality if you want to have success." Mahomes has completed 63.5% of his pass attempts for 566 yards, five touchdowns and one interception, while also rushing for 40 yards and an additional score on the ground. This weekend, the Chiefs will look to keep their record unblemished in a favorable matchup against the 0-2 Miami Dolphins.
