KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke for seven and a half minutes Wednesday, spread across 15 sets of media questions and his answers.
He was accommodating and expansive for the most part, but there was one exception. In response to an inquiry late in the conversation, he provided a terse, six-second reply, more than twice as short as any other.
The relevant backdrop: Ahead of Sunday Night Football’s Kansas City-Tampa Bay matchup, the first since the two met in a Super Bowl two seasons ago, Buccaneers pass rusher Shaquil Barrett mentioned that he didn’t see much of a difference in the Chiefs’ current offensive line and the one the Buccs shredded in that championship game. A coming-out party would be planned for Sunday, he predicted.
