    Mahomes Reflects On Bengals Win - '3 Turnovers Can't Happen!'

    The Kansas City Chiefs have moved to 2-0 on the season after a 26-25 win over the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium, and they made life incredibly difficult for themselves.

    With the offense having three turnovers (two interceptions and a fumble), Patrick Mahomes still positioned his team to win the game late on, and Harrison Butker nailed the 51-yard field goal to claim the win.

    But while moving to 2-0 is good for the Chiefs, Mahomes says the offense can't turn the ball over like they did.

    “I thought we did a lot of good things, but obviously, the three turnovers can’t happen,” Mahomes said . “We played, not as clean as we wanted to, still found a way to win. That speaks to the defense and the entire team. But obviously, we got to clean up a lot of stuff on offense as we go forward.”

    The Chiefs will take a lot from the game going forward and committing three turnovers and still managing to get the win, is a good sign. But as Mahomes stated, that can't happen, and on another day, the Chiefs lose this game.

    With Kansas City now moving to 2-0, it now has a stranglehold on the AFC, as it owns the tie-breaker over the Baltimore Ravens and Bengals, and come playoff time with seedings, it could be the difference playing home or away.

    The Chiefs' performance was anything but smooth, however they still managed to sneak out a win. That is the true sign of a champion.
