Detroit Lions had Jeff Goffs as their Quarterback who was a standout in the game.
As for the Chief’s defeat, they performed best with the teams that they had although DT Chris Jones and Wide Reciever Travis Kelce were missing from the scene due to a contract dispute and knee injury respectively. Nevertheless, Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes displayed a positive attitude during his conference.
Patrick Mahomes said he “trusts” in Kadarius Toney after crucial mistakes in the Chiefs’ defeat
Kansas City Chief Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is valued, not only for his incredible performances but also, for his patience with his teammates.
“I have trust in Kadarius Toney. Stuff doesn’t always go your way,” Patrick Mahomes backed up his WR Kadarius Toney even after his crucial mistake in the Chiefs’ Defeat.

Patrick Mahomes, instead of throwing his teammate under the bus, commented that he believes in the 24-year-old to rise to the occasion.
“Yeah, I mean, I have trust in KT,” Mahomes said. “He missed a lot of training camp. He wanted to play and fought rehab hard so he could play. Stuff is not always going to go your way.”
He further commented, “Obviously, he would’ve wanted to catch a few of those in the game but I have trust that he’s going to be that guy that I go to in those crucial moments, and he’s [Kadarius Toney] going to make the catch and win us some seasons like he did last year. So we’re going to continue to work him in, get him more and more reps, and I’m sure those drops will kind of disappear.”
It’s a bit of relief to learn that Kadarius Toney has the highest drop rate (9.7%) among all wide receivers with at least 75 targets since 2021. Surely he had a bad day but after all, form is temporary – class is permanent.
