Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke with reporters on Wednesday during his press conference, discussing the need for consistency on deep passes.

“Yeah, I’m just not making the throws. That’s pretty much the biggest thing. Guys are getting open and giving me chances to make the plays down the field.” said Mahomes, “I give them chances to make plays and if you look at the one to Tyquan (Thornton) later in the game, it wasn’t necessarily the best thrown ball but it gave him (Tyquan Thornton) a chance and I think that’s something I can learn from with guys like Xavier’s (Worthy) early.

is that it might not be the perfect pass that’s going to be a touchdown and catch like that, but if I can throw the ball and just give him (Xavier Worthy) a chance to make a play, he’ll make the play on it, then he can make the play and score the touchdown from there. Being better there and giving guys chances usually works out.”

Mahomes showed off the deep ball last Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Facing a third down, he found wide receiver Tyquan Thornton for a 61-yard downfield gain. It was a spectacular catch by Thornton, who caught it in a full-extension grab despite the presence of a nearby defensive back.

He finished the Week 11 loss, completing 29 of 45 passes for 276 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
