Reviewing Patrick Mahomes' Performance Through Nine Weeks

In this episode of the Kansas City Chiefs Insider Podcast, we analyze Patrick Mahomes' performance for the Chiefs through the first nine weeks of the season.

Insights from Juju Smith-Schuster Before the Bills Game

“Yeah, I think we have a great system here. I think he (Coach Reid) puts us in the best situation to go out there to perform at our best. Entirely, I don’t think it’s just our offense. I think it’s our defense too and our special teams. They set up the field positioning and set us up to put us in great position to go down and score. And also, just momentum changers. I think it takes all three teams to make it happen.”

“Yeah, I think being here and playing with (Travis) Kelce, he’s been a guy that I kind of learn a lot from just ball. It’s fun, I think being on the field with him you kind of learn so much but at the same time, I can see myself being in the role, being intangible. Being able to work where I need to be worked at. I feel like I’m in a role right now where, wherever (Head) Coach (Andy Reid) needs to play me at to fill that void and make the best of it.”

“Yeah, I think (Head) Coach (Andy Reid) believes in us and our mentality.”

Smith-Schuster emphasizes the importance of the entire team — offense, defense, and special teams — working together to create momentum and score effectively under Coach Reid’s guidance.

He also highlights the value of playing alongside Travis Kelce and being flexible in his role to help the team succeed.
