KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Patrick Mahomes II is just beginning his career as an NFL starting quarterback, but he has played enough football to know there are going to be days like the one he experienced on Thursday.
Mahomes and the first-team offense had a ragged day as the Chiefs concluded their first week of offseason practice. They consoled themselves with the hope that better days are ahead.
That's a reasonable belief. Mahomes played well in the one game he started last season as a rookie. He led the Chiefs on a game-winning field goal drive in the final moments against the Denver Broncos.
