Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke to reporters after Sunday’s game, expressing his appreciation for the offensive line’s performance in Week 4.

“Yeah, they did a great job on run and pass. When they play like that, it makes my job a lot easier. They’re starting to gel and build that chemistry that every offensive line has to do.” said Mahomes, “Those young guys are getting more and more experience and they’ve played against some great defensive lines, and they’ll continue to get better and better as the year goes on, but they had a great day today and let’s build on it.”

Mahomes was sacked once in Week 4 by Ravens linebacker Tavius Robinson; otherwise, he was relatively untouched in the pocket. The offensive line also performed better in run blocking, opening up opportunities throughout the game.

“I think the weeks prior has been something that’s been important to me – seeing that I can sit in these pockets and make these throws and get to my third progression(and) fourth progression and stuff like that,” said Mahomes, “Even the play to JuJu (Smith-Schuster) that gets tipped, that’s third progression and you see the pocket, it’s clean. Having that and having that confidence in them, it’s pushing me to be better, and I thought we did that today, and let’s continue to do it.”

The performances of Josh Simmons and Kingsley Suamataia will continue to be closely watched this season as they navigate their roles and gain experience. The matchup against Baltimore was a great example of the effectiveness and potential of the young duo for the future.
