Noted NFL analyst and sports commentator Nick Wright spoke about PM15’s performance. “Listen, Patrick’s my buddy. But I am very much upset. He costs me as much as himself in that game.

“We just didn’t play good enough, especially on the offensive side of the ball, starting with me. Obviously, we missed some kicks and stuff like that, but at the end of the day, we had multiple opportunities to score. So we have to find ways to get the ball in the end zone. That starts with me. We can’t just get yards, we have to get in the end zone when we’re down there,” Mahomes said.
