LOS ANGELES ?in the NFL this season and had his second six-touchdown game. But it is the five turnovers the Kansas City quarterback committed that led to the Chiefs dropping their second game this season.Mahomes threw three interceptions and had two fumbles in Monday night’s 54-51 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Three of the turnovers resulted in Rams touchdowns Patrick Mahomes Jersey , including a fumble and interception return for TDs by Rams linebacker Samson Ebukam.“I gave them 21 points through turnovers,” said Mahomes, who completed 33 of 46 passes for 478 yards. “It sucks right now, plain and simple. You wanted a win like that over a playoff team.”It is the first three-interception game of Mahomes’ career. The first pick came when Ebukam stuck his left hand up at the line of scrimmage and came down with the ball before returning it for a touchdown.Mahomes said he was intending to throw to tight end Demetrius Harris, but that he babied the throw instead of putting more velocity on it.The last two picks came on the final drives as the Chiefs were attempting to tie the game with a field goal.Chiefs coach Andy Reid said the Marcus Peters interception with 1:18 remaining was mostly the result of pressure by Ebukam. The last one, which was picked off by LaMarcus Joyner with 13 seconds remaining at the LA 28, was Mahomes trying to make a play late.The two fumbles were the result of strip sacks by Aaron Donald, who has a league-leading 14.5 sacks.“He’s made enough of those plays where you have full trust in him,” Reid said. “We always talk about protecting the ball Mitch Morse Jersey , and he usually does a good job of that.”Wide receiver Chris Conley, who had seven receptions for 74 yards, said this is the first game that felt as if it had a postseason feel.“Both teams were charged and ready to play like the playoffs,” he said. “You have to be at your best, though, because there are no second chances and do-overs.”Despite the turnovers, Reid was impressed with the way Mahomes was able to battle through some early adversity. Early in the fourth quarter, he fired a 73-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill to bring the Chiefs within 40-37. It was Mahomes’ second-longest completion of the season.“He’s resilient and has confidence in himself. Things are going to happen in a game,” Reid said. “The great ones come back firing and try to rip their hearts out the next series.”For a team that has high postseason aspirations Chris Jones Jersey , one concern could be that most of Mahomes’ interceptions have come against quality defenses. Besides the three against the Rams, he threw two in a loss to New England on Oct. 14 and two against Jacksonville on Oct. 7.Rams linebacker Dante Fowler Jr., who has faced Mahomes twice this season, said he thought Mahomes was getting a little rattled late in the game.“When you are in situations like that, his first year in situations like that, it’s kind of hard,” Fowler Jr. said. “We put the pressure on him and we did a good job.”For Mahomes, the lessons from this loss were the same as when the Chiefs lost to the Patriots 43-40 on Oct. 14: You can’t make mistakes against good teams.Kansas City goes into the bye at 9-2 and with the best record in the AFC. Reed and Conley are confident that Mahomes will be ready for the December stretch drive.“Patrick is a gamer. We are behind him and we know he will bounce back from this and get better,” Conley said.100View Gallery Gallery:View from the sidelines: NFL cheerleaders 2018Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports | Raj Mehta 25 days of Chiefs Draftmas continues with an Iowa State wide receiver."WhiteSeries Stagner ThingsLottery Tickets ’19Summer of SpagsMailbagFanposts Fanshots Community Community GuidelinesContactAbout StubHub ✕25 Days of Draftmas: Iowa State’s Hakeem Butler would pair well with Patrick MahomesNew Steven Nelson Jersey ,35comments25 days of Chiefs Draftmas continues with an Iowa State wide receiver.CDTShareTweetShareShare25 Days of Draftmas: Iowa State’s Hakeem Butler would pair well with Patrick MahomesA very Merry Draftmas to you!

Here is the breakdown of a pass catcher from the Big 12:Hakeem Butler, wide receiverTrevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports6’5” | 227 lbs | Iowa StateBaltimore, MDDraft grade: second roundDraft range: second round40 time: 4.48NFL Combine: 36” vertical, 128” broad, NA. 20yd, NA. 3-cone, 18 bench reps2018 Stats: 60 REC Nick Allegretti Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , 1,310 YDS (22 Y/R), 9 TDBackground: Former two-star recruit. Raised in Baltimore, Maryland, until 2012 when his mother passed away. Moved to Texas and lived with cousins Aaron and Andrew Harrison, who both play in the NBA. Strengths: Extremely rare athletic profile. Butler is a massive human being that moves like a much smaller man. Elite arm length, throw the ball anywhere in the stadium and he’ll catch it. Uses his big frame well to box out defenders. Big-time red-zone threat, developing between the 20s. Sinks hips and changes directions very well for a guy his size. Shows promise as a route runner. Has good build-up speed and can blow the top off a defense. Has shown the ability kicked inside to play the slot as well. Weaknesses: Butler will make a circus catch, then turn around and drop an easy one on the next play. Hands are very inconsistent. For someone as big and athletic as Butler Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , he lets himself get bullied at the line of scrimmage and has to play with better technique before he can consistently play on the outside. Will struggle with more physical corners can get knocked off his route too easily. Route tree is limited.How he fits with the Chiefs:Butler is a project and a bit of a projection, but he is one that will get drafted high because of his rare athletic profile. He did show the ability to play in the slot, and I believe that would be his quickest route to the field for the Chiefs. Obviously, Butler adds a skill set that the Chiefs do not have. Butler is unrefined and will need to clean up his feet and hand usage at the line of scrimmage before he could contribute consistently for anyone. But he is the type of player you create packages for just to get on the field, and I’m sure Patrick Mahomes could get used to throwing some jump balls to Butler.
