Patrick Mahomes: Chiefs Not Playing 'Best Football' Despite Clinching Playoff Berth

The Kansas City Chiefs survived another close game Friday, defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 19-17 after they recovered a botched snap in the closing seconds with the Silver and Black on the enemy 32-yard line.

The 11-1 Chiefs clinched a playoff berth with the win and will now have a chance at the NFL's first-ever Super Bowl three-peat, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes admitted to reporters postgame that the team isn't playing its "best football" right now (1:30 mark).

"We just hold ourselves to such a high standard that we don't feel like we're playing our best football altogether and it seems like every game it's offense does good, defense does good, kind of vice-versa.
