The Chiefs’ 37-31 overtime loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday night marked the lowest completion percentage game in quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ young career.
He finished 16 of 31 passing for a completion rate of 51.6 percent. But there was a sense that if Mahomes got the ball back one final time, he’d have found a way to get the Chiefs the victory that would have advanced them to the Super Bowl.
After a scoreless first half, the Chiefs piled up 31 second-half points with Mahomes tossing three touchdown passes: two to running back Damien Williams and one to tight end Travis Kelce.
