Patrick Mahomes Has Surprisingly Optimistic View on Chiefs' Winless Start to Season

The Chiefs have struggled mightily to begin the 2025 season, which is quite an unfamiliar sight from a team that has appeared in five of the last seven Super Bowls.

The Chiefs haven't looked this mortal since Alex Smith was under center, a perception backed up by the fact that it's the first 0-2 start of Patrick Mahomes's career.
