After Sunday’s win against the Falcons, quarterback Patrick Mahomes told reporters he felt like he didn’t play well.

The quarterback noted that he had missed opportunities and needed to get back to basics.

Head coach Andy Reid was asked about those comments in his press conference on Monday and said there are things he can do as an offensive playmaker to put Mahomes in a better position to succeed.

“He’s a phenomenal player,” Reid said. “And I think he kind of found his rhythm in the second half. It’s a big part of my responsibility to get him into that rhythm earlier. So we’ll talk all that over again and get it taken care of.”

“But I thought he hit it really well in the second half – had some nice throws. The throw to (Travis) Kelce on the long edge and the throw to Rashee (Rice) – same route, two different throws, and he was right on. Either way, he finished well at the end.”

The quarterback pointed out that footwork is a specific area where he can improve, but Reid noted that Mahomes will do well in that area.

“I think it’s important to get him in the rhythm,” Reid said. “That includes all of those things — the footwork, the knee bend, his drop and so on. And the more we can secure things up front, the better. Last week, he was coming off a game where he had to get the ball out quickly because he was under pressure. But I thought the offensive line did a good job here. And I think Pat will see that and that helps the situation, too.”

Mahomes has completed 69.6 percent of his passes for 659 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions through three games. His 219.7-yard average is well below his 2023 average of 261.4 yards.
