'Eyes ahead': From high school to college, games that shaped the mentality of Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The final high school game of current Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes ended on an interception.

Mahomes' last pass, with his team frantically trying to score the winning touchdown in the final minute of a 2013 Texas state playoff game, bounced off the hands of a receiver and into those of a defender. Despite Mahomes throwing for more than 600 yards and leading his team to 60 points, the Whitehouse Wildcats lost by five points.

Mahomes took a couple of days to heal his wounds, mostly emotional, but by the following Monday he was back at school.
