Patrick Mahomes says Kansas City Chiefs offense needs to clean up little things, starting with own play

INDIANAPOLIS — The Kansas City Chiefs missed a chip-shot field goal in the fourth quarter, failing to get three points that would have been useful at the end.

They didn't convert on a fake field goal in the fourth quarter and muffed a punt that set up the Indianapolis Colts inside the 5-yard line for a touchdown.

Patrick Mahomes said none of that would have mattered had his Colts counterpart, Matt Ryan, not outgunned him in the end. The Chiefs came away with two touchdowns in four red-zone tries, one reason for their 20-17 loss Sunday. «We've got to make it so those little mistakes don't cause the loss,'' said Mahomes, who threw an interception late in the game as the Chiefs were frantically trying to get into field goal range as they attempted to send the game to overtime. „We had multiple chances to get in the end zone, and if we get (in) the end zone one time, don't stall out in the red zone, get seven (instead of the missed field goal in the fourth quarter), the game's over.'' Mahomes and the Chiefs offense needed big help from the defense to get their two touchdowns.

They started with favorable field position on both scores after the defense stopped the Colts on downs and also forced a turnover.
