An undefeated season and the Kansas City Chiefs' third consecutive Super Bowl victory could have helped Patrick Mahomes reach the top of the league, something Tom Brady did not achieve during his career.
However, any chance of a perfect season ended with a 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills. By Sunday night, it was time for the Chiefs to go back to the drawing board and recalibrate for Week 12. Mahomes said afterward that he hoped the loss would be “food” for the rest of the season.
