Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are having an excellent start to the season. They recently beat the Los Angeles Chargers with a score of 22-6. The team has won all 5 of their games so far, and are one of three teams to be still unbeaten.
The Chiefs look very strong at the moment, and are being considered as a Super Bowl contender. Ahead of a crucial matchup, Mahomes had something to say.
Patrick Mahomes remembers 2018 loss to Seahawks
The Chiefs have managed to defeat all of their opponents so far, but will now face the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. The reigning Super Bowl champions are a formidable team, though they have a current record of 3 wins and 3 losses. However, Mahomes is not taking them lightly based on his previous matchup with the team at their home stadium.
Mahomes has only played the Seahawks at Lumen Field once in his career. It happened back in December 2018, with the Chiefs losing to the Seahawks with a score of 38-31. The quarterback performed well in that game, as he completed 23 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns. The Chiefs last won at the stadium back in 2010.
Ahead of the Seahawks game, Mahomes remembered the atmosphere at the 2018 loss in a recent press conference. He said, “I remember it being very loud, them having a lot of passion. I feel like I might have been a little too amped up kind of early in the game.” He added that it was a very important experience for him, “I think that’s something you learn from as you go throughout your career is like, you’ve got to be able to manage that.”
Mahomes also talked about what qualities make the Seahawk an opponent to fear facing against.

In the same press conference, Mahomes talked about the current Seahawks team. He highlighted their defensive attributes. He said, “They’re good at every single level of the defense.”
He added, “Defensive line, linebackers, secondary, everybody, and they have a great scheme. They’re going to make you earn it every single drive, and it’s not always going to be pretty, but you have to be consistent and not push it too far, but push it enough to make plays happen.” Head coach Andy Reid also mentioned that his counterpart Mike Macdonald runs one of the best defensive schemes in the league.
