The name of Patrick Mahomes is enough to send chills down the spine of the opponent players, irrespective of their experience of the game. However, the exceptional Kansas City Chiefs quarterback sounds worried before the upcoming match against the Los Angeles Chargers on a Thursday night clash. The Chiefs will go into the match feeling confident from their astounding victory against the Arizona Cardinals.

Although, Patrick Mahomes voiced a message to his teammates to be weary of a certain defensive player of the Los Angeles Chargers. The player is none other than the Chargers’ outside linebacker Khalil Mack.

“Khalil’s a great player. Obviously, they had Bosa already and a lot of other guys that can rush passer. … I’m just sad Khalil came back. I thought he was out of the AFC West and now he’s back getting sacks again,” Mahomes said according to the NFL writer Nick Cothrell.
