The Kansas City Chiefs finished the 2024 season in a way fans weren’t expecting. For the first time in years, Patrick Mahomes and his team were blown out in a big game. It wasn’t just a loss it was a shocking end. Now, as the 2025 season approaches, Mahomes isn’t talking about revenge. He’s not looking to prove people wrong with words. Instead, he wants to get back on the field and play football correctly.
Patrick Mahomes says Chiefs need joy not pressure
After a tough loss in Super Bowl LIX , many people expected Mahomes to come back with fire and frustration. But during an interview with Kay Adams, he made it clear he’s ready to work, not talk.
He explained that the last season felt different. The team was winning, but it wasn’t always fun. They were playing with pressure instead of passion. “I feel like last year… guys wanted to win not for the fun of the game, but just because we’re supposed to,”
he said.
Now, Mahomes wants that joy back. The victories will come, he thinks, when the team plays with confidence and vigor. He is interested in outcomes, not vengeance. “We have the talent. We have the coaches. We work harder than anyone in the NFL. So let’s go out there and have fun,” he added.
Patrick Mahomes is ready to unleash new weapons in 2025
One issue for the Chiefs in 2024 was their struggling receiving group. Injuries to Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown made things tough. But Mahomes believes the front office made strong moves for 2025. “We have so many weapons,”
He’s excited about a healthy Rashee Rice, a fully fit Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, and young star Xavier Worthy. Add in Travis Kelce and Noah Gray, and Mahomes sees endless options. “I think it’s gonna come from everywhere,” he said.
