Mahomes, who led the Chiefs to the fifth-best scoring offense in the NFL this season, is no stranger to postseason fireworks. Kansas City scored 31 points in each of the reigning league MVP’s playoff starts a year ago, and while the Chiefs came up just short in the AFC Championship Game last January, Mahomes appears confident he can build off of last year’s postseason run.
“For me, I think the only thing that’s really different is having the experience of playing in games like this at Arrowhead and being able to win one and lose one,” Mahomes said. “I understand that every single play counts, every single rep in practice counts and that you have to take advantage of every single opportunity that you get.”
The Chiefs had the benefit of some additional preparation with a first-round bye, which is a situation Reid has taken advantage of time and time again in the past. Reid is 22-4 (including the postseason) following a bye week, routinely turning the extra time into victories. Conversely, while Houston fought back to win last Saturday, it required overtime and a taxing effort on both sides of the ball.
It remains to be seen if those circumstances will affect Sunday’s game, but one thing is for certain as the Chiefs take the field at Arrowhead: there is nothing quite like the playoffs.
“Coaching in these types of games, I love it. This is what it’s all about. You’ve got great competition, great coaches, great players, and the opportunity to play in front of our fans in a great setting,” Reid said. “That’s what it’s all about. We love that. That’s why we do this.”
Catch the Chiefs and the Texans clash in some playoff football on Sunday at 2:05 p.m. CT on CBS.
