The Kansas City Chiefs endured – by their team’s standards, anyway – a down season in 2023 after the offense floundered a bit throughout the year.
Between injuries, dropped passes, turnovers, and poor overall production, Kansas City lost games it typically had won.
And yet, the Chiefs still won the AFC West and will now be playing for in their sixth consecutive AFC title game.
A lot of that is thanks to quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who recently noted what this season taught him and how he changed his approach to how to play while dealing with so much adversity this season.
“It’s taught me how to win in different ways and become the best quarterback for our team,” Mahomes said, via Arrowhead Report’s Jordan Foote. “Not necessarily the best quarterback for stats and stuff like that, but the best quarterback I can be for us to go out there and get wins.”

This is how the greatest quarterbacks in the NFL do it – win at all costs, even if it means changing things up a bit.
Mahomes still has tight end Travis Kelce but didn’t have any other reliable pass-catchers to throw to throughout the season and dealt with an inconsistent running game as well.
Mahomes’s stats took a hit, but he still managed to pull off wins when it mattered most – like against the Buffalo Bills a week ago in the divisional round.
Now, he’ll take on the Baltimore Ravens in a huge AFC title game featuring the No. 1 defense in Mahomes’ toughest challenge of the year.
