After the win against the Texans, Patrick Mahomes spoke about his strategy to overcome a rusty performance against the Denver Broncos. He said that he watched the tapes of the last game to pinpoint where he went wrong in Week 14 and corrected those mistakes.

“Yeah, I think I just went back to the fundamentals. When I watched the tapes from the week before, I thought I left easy throws out there. So today I tried to take those when they were there and keep third downs manageable,” Mahomes said during the press conference.
