Mahomes told reporters after the game that the Chargers came into the game with more intensity, giving his team a warning for the coming season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div data-grid=\"span:6 md:span:12 lg:span:14 hk:span:12\" data-module=\"\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Chiefs Couldn\u2019t Match the Energy<\/h2>\n<p>Mahomes pointed a finger at Kansas City\u2019s offense, which struggled to move the ball through the first half. Though the team was hit with an early loss when wide receiver Xavier Worthy suffered a shoulder injury while colliding with Travis Kelce during a route, Mahomes said it was a lack of energy that did them in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey came out with more energy than we did, their defense than our offense,\u201d Mahomes said, via Pro Football Talk.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes said the Chiefs came into the game well-prepared, but didn\u2019t have the right \u201cmindset\u201d once the game started. He warned that the team will struggle this year if they don\u2019t learn from the loss and make a change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we had energy at practice yesterday and all throughout the week, but if you don\u2019t come out with the right mindset, you get beat,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cThe Chargers came out with the right mindset, and they beat us. . . . They definitely came out with more energy than we did. In this league, everybody\u2019s too good for you to not match the energy of our opponent, so I think we learned a valuable lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Andy Reid Shares Sentiment<\/h2>\n<p>Chiefs head coach Andy Reid also called out the team\u2019s lack of focus and energy, saying it was particularly evident in the first half. The Chargers outgained the Chiefs 211 yards to 133 in the first half, but went into the break with just a 13-6 lead as the Chiefs were able to get a field goal in the closing seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Reid echoed the statement from Mahomes that the opening loss could be a wake-up call for the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can learn from this as we move forward,\u201d Reid said. \u201cI\u2019ve got to make sure I get my team in a better state there coming out, playing with more emotion. We were a little flat that first half, and that cost us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs made some costly mistakes, including a missed touchdown to Kelce and a missed extra point that would have tied the game and instead had them chasing points in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>Reid said that if the Chiefs could have come out sharper in the first half, they could have won the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first half we were off a bit, and then the second half it picked up a bit,\u201d Reid said. \u201cI\u2019ve got to make sure that we start faster\u2026 I\u2019ve got to make sure that we come out with better emotion\u2026 I thought they did a better job in that area.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes warned that his team can&#8217;t come out flat like they did against the Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING : \ud83d\udd25 Patrick Mahomes Sends a Shocking Warning to Chiefs After Painful Loss vs. Chargers \u2013 What\u2019s Next?
