No matter what, Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers know Patrick Mahomes is going to keep firing regardless of the group’s recent drops.<\/p>\n

“That’s just who I am,” Mahomes told reporters this past week.<\/p>\n

But through 10 games and with K.C. coming off a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football<\/em> that saw its receivers enter the spotlight with a few high-profile drops, Mahomes’ propensity to remain confident in his group and keep delivering is paramount. Kansas City’s pass-catching group has 19 drops this season (tied-fifth most in the NFL), and Mahomes is on his way, statistically, to one of his worst seasons.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs receivers have combined for 12 drops this season (most in the NFL), per Next Gen Stats. The Chiefs are one of three teams that do not have a receiver with 450-plus yards this season, and they are the only team that has not had a wide receiver amass 85-plus yards in a game this season (season-high is 84 by Marquez Valdes-Scantling in Week 7).<\/p>\n

As the Chiefs prepare for today’s road game against the Las Vegas Raiders, sources say there is a strong sense of urgency about fixing it all — and confidence that it’s coming. The receivers have continued to do extra work on the JUGS machine post-practice, but physical work won’t be the only answer.<\/p>\n
