It has been an impressive rookie season for Xavier Worthy, who has began a top-tier target for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs offense. 

And now, he is set to play in his first playoff game on Saturday when the Chiefs face off against the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round. 

But for him, it's just like any other game. 

"Just treating it like every other game. I got a lot of vets in the room, so they just make it easy on me," Worthy told reporters. "Just take it week by week and treat it like a regular game."

So, is he more nervous for this one?

"Nah, I'll be alright," the receiver said with a smile. 

And according to his other teammates, they also think he is going to be all set on Saturday. 

“I think just the steady progression that he’s (Xavier Worthy) made all year long. Obviously, adrenaline’s going to be flowing and you’re going to be, I guess, a little nervous or whatever that is, but once you get on the football field, you just play," Mahomes said. "I think that’s something that he’s done great this entire season. He’s played (in) a lot of big games; he’s done a lot of productive things, and I expect him to do the same things as we get to the playoffs.”

Mahomes also revealed that is was around the Buffalo Bills game that he noticed Worthy's increased production. 

“Yeah, I think that was for sure. I think just he (Xavier Worthy) just let it go and just played. I think the offense started coming to him better. He had been open earlier in the year. I think for me, it’s just the more and more reps we got, I started hitting him on some of those passes," the quarterback added. "He’s a smart kid, he works extremely hard and usually when you do that and you’re that talented, good things happen. You just stay with the process, and he’s done that and that’s why he’s gotten better and better as the years went on.”

However, he did struggled just like many other rookies do. But head coach Andy Reid knew that he would figure it all out. 

"You can see the talent – he’s (Xavier Worthy) a smart kid – you can see the talent, you knew it was a matter of time. You saw that with Rashee (Rice) the year before. We’ve seen it with a bunch of receivers over time," Reid explained. "As long as they’re willing to work, smart and they have the skill he has, obviously, you just hang with it, and they’ll work through it. They’ve got to see it – get kind of those main defenses down and the reads and the routes and all that. He’s done a nice job with all that.”

And with that, his confidence just continued to grow. 

"You can tell his confidence is up. I mean, you give someone a full year in this system in the league and they're always going to get better. His routes have become crisper. You can tell in the game plan, they are kind of finding him a little more route seeking runs instead of just going vertical," cornerback Trent McDuffie said. "Someone I've just been a fan of. His play on the field, off the field, and someone I'm really excited just to see what he's going to do. I think he's a threat, a factor, and someone I know Pat really loves."

McDuffie has had to match up against Worthy in practice all throughout the season, so he knows better than anyone why he's such a threat  

"Just look at how he's out there on the field. Where he's lining up within our offensive game plan, the amount of looks that Pat's giving him, the plays he's able to make, the catches he's able to make, and you can just tell he's someone who wants to be that person. He wants to be the No. 1, he wants the ball. And when you have someone like that, I think it can be a real threat."
