Patrick Mahomes revealed the ultimate game changer for the Chiefs’ win over Colts actually had nothing to do with anything on the field
Fans at the Chiefs game vs. the Colts Were the game changer according to Patrick Mahomes.
The Kansas City Chiefs are still alive in the race to make the playoffs. With a win over the Indianapolis Colts, one of the best teams in the AFC, KC is playing a metaphorical playoff game every single week from here on out. That game was ugly, but the game changer that really helped the Chiefs swing it their way had nothing to do with what happened on the field.
“There was like a feeling that you had an Arrowhead,” Patrick Mahomes said regarding Kareem Hunt’s fumble. “You can see the fans were behind us, like they did. They didn’t hang their heads because of a fumble. They said that we’re going to be with y’all through this all. And I thought that was really cool. And you feel that momentum kind of swing in our favor, even after a bad play for us. So I’m glad that happened here, because I thought that really did change the outcome of the game.“
Chiefs closed out the game vs. the Colts in a way we’re used to seeing
The Chiefs were 0-5 in one-score games before this win. That’s not the kind of Chiefs we are used to seeing. Every time the Chiefs have had a chance to close the gap or even win the game late in games, they haven’t been able to. So, when Hunt fumbled the ball late in the game on a late drive, it says a lot about the fan base that they still believed.
It felt like every single game the Chiefs played last season was a one-score game that they won. This year has been the exact opposite, but the fan base stood behind their team. They didn’t boo or anything. In fact, they got even louder when the defense came onto the field and forced a punt. So, yeah, in a way, that is the biggest game changer, and said game changer wasn’t even on the field.
The Chiefs needed a win like that — an ugly one-score game that they can hang their hats on when they look back at the end of the season. If they make the postseason, which will still be incredibly tough to do, this is the game everyone will remember.
The fans were a huge reason the Chiefs won the game, and Mahomes wanted everyone to know. Now, let’s see if this momentum carries over against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
