At a time when the Kansas City Chiefs want to be sprinting to the finish line, quarterback Patrick Mahomes fears the physical toll of playing three games in a span of 11 days will derail the two-time Super Bowl champions.
¡°You never want to play this amount of games in this short of time. It¡¯s not great for your body,¡± Mahomes said of Kansas City¡¯s upcoming Sunday-Saturday-Christmas Day (Wednesday) schedule combination. ¡°But at the end of the day, it¡¯s your job, your profession, you have to come to work and do it.¡±
The Chiefs begin the gauntlet of games on Sunday in a Week 15 matchup on the road against the Cleveland Browns. They return for a short week of preparation and a Saturday home game against the AFC South-leading Houston Texans, then travel to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road on Christmas Day in the first scheduled NFL game on a Wednesday since 2012.
