Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy expects quarterback Patrick Mahomes to perform exactly how he did against the Raiders last Sunday in every other game.
Bieniemy spoke to the media on Thursday going into this Sunday's contest against the Dallas Cowboys and confirmed that he goes into every game highly confident in his quarterback.
“Each and every week, I go into every game feeling confident on how Patrick is doing and how he’s feeling. So, it wasn’t anything different that led me to believe that he would have the game that he had,” Bieniemy said in his press conference. “Not trying to sound arrogant, we expect those types of performances from him a lot. But as you know, sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you. So, it was fortunate enough that he had a great game. I thought the O-line did a heck of a job of keeping the pocket clean for him and you had guys that made some plays on the perimeter, so it was good to see."
Mahomes was dynamite against Las Vegas last Sunday night as he finished with 406 yards with five touchdowns.
It was a big step in the right direction for him as he was struggling a bit the prior four weeks. In those games, Mahomes had just four touchdowns to four interceptions.
After this game, Mahomes is now up to 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while completing 66% of his passes.
He'll look to piggyback off that monstrous outing at 4:25 p.m. ET this Sunday.
