Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke with reporters during his postgame press conference, sharing his reaction to dropped passes from veteran receivers in the loss to the Houston Texans.”I don’t have to say anything. He’s (Rashee Rice) a champion for a reason,” said Mahomes, “He knows what it takes, and he’s made that play 99% of the time, and I have to give him a better chance with the ball, maybe more on his body. I’ll never question that.”Travis Kelce dropped multiple passes on the final drive, including an accidental deflection into the hands of a Texans defender in the fourth quarter to kill a drive. Rashee Rice and Noah Gray also had crucial drops throughout the game as Mahomes continued to defend his teammates.OFF KELCE’S HANDS INTO AL-SHAAIR’S GRASP.HOUvsKC on NBCStream on @NFLPlus + Peacock pic.twitter.com/An7H5798nE— NFL (@NFL) December 8, 2025″I’m going to go to those guys in big moments. Those guys have made big plays in Super Bowls, they’ve made big plays in AFC Championship Games. Obviously, it didn’t go our way today. I have a lot to do with that myself,” said Mahomes, “We’ll go back and like I said, regardless of what happens the rest of this season, we’ll give everything we have every snap and give ourselves the best chance to go out there and make a run.”The Chiefs’ offense struggled against Houston’s highly ranked defense, with Mahomes tossing three interceptions in the loss.This article originally appeared on Chiefs Wire: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes reacts to dropped passes in Week 14 loss
