Patrick Mahomes Reveals Intense Bye Week Plans

The Kansas City Chiefs were in the building on Monday, just before the team’s first-round bye week. They’re the only club in the AFC to have a bye week as the conference’s top seed, and they’ll try to capitalize with extra preparation, rest, and recuperation.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes disclosed his plans for the upcoming bye week. It all starts with gaining a basic idea of the opponents they could face in the divisional round.

“Yeah, the biggest thing for me, obviously, you don’t know for sure who you’re going to play,” Mahomes said. “So, what I’ll do, I’ll watch like a game or two of each team that we have a possibility of playing”.

“Kind of each day, just try and get a general sense of the team without being too much of a deep dive. Luckily, two of the teams we have already played this year, so I have a general sense of them already”.

The Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars are the two teams with the best chances of facing the Chiefs in the divisional round. The Baltimore Ravens are ranked third, and you can expect Mahomes and the coaching staff to devote additional attention to them this week.

“Make sure you stay working out and stay moving around,” Mahomes explained. “Not just sit on the couch all week. Then when we get ready to go the next week I just have to try and be prepared and ready to roll. So, just a little bit of (getting) off your feet and (resting), but you still move around enough so that your body is in good shape whenever you get to the first playoff game for us.”
