As the Chiefs struggle through a disappointing season, Patrick Mahomes received a bold prediction regarding the Super Bowl.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes heads into the Los Angeles Chargers game with a tag he has not seen in years. NFL analyst Nick Shook placed him in Tier 2 of the league’s Week 15 quarterback rankings, dropping him to 12th after sitting fifth a week earlier in Tier 1. The seven-spot slide marks his sharpest fall this year.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback’s comments came after the tight end made a costly mistake during Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs could be eliminated from NFL playoff contention as early as this weekend as they prepare to face the Los Angeles Chargers; the Chiefs have not missed the postseason since the 2014 campaign when they finished 9-7.
