Patrick Mahomes is expressing some dismay over the gauntlet that the Chiefs have on the horizon.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs play on the road against the Browns this Sunday, then host the Texans next Saturday before traveling to Pittsburgh for a Christmas Day game the following Wednesday \u2014 a stretch of three games in just 11 days.<\/p>\n

Mahomes believes the jammed schedule is unhealthy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not a good feeling,\u201d Mahomes said Wednesday, as covered by USA Today. \u201cI\u2019m excited to play on Christmas to hopefully get back from what we did last year [when the Chiefs lost on Christmas to the Raiders], but you never want to play this many games in this short of time. It\u2019s just not great for your body. But at the end of the day, it\u2019s your job, your profession. You have to come to work and do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, as this rough spell on the calendar did not come as a surprise, the quarterback acknowledged he\u2019s been trying to prepare his body \u201call year long for this stretch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coaches do a great job of taking care of us on the practice field. We practice hard as anybody, but they know how to kind of dial it back when we need it,\u201d Mahomes continued.<\/p>\n

Mahomes was not the only Chiefs star wary of the logjam.<\/p>\n

Star pass rusher Chris Jones said he would be taking concerns up with the players union.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I\u2019m doing this offseason is I\u2019m going to the NFLPA, especially with us having three games in a [11-day] span, that we\u2019re mandatory to have a late bye week,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWith our schedule, it\u2019s kind of awkward, to say the least. That\u2019s a conversation to have this offseason. If a team has somewhat of a schedule like that, they have a mandatory late-season bye.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs have the NFL\u2019s best record at 12-1. They lead the Bills and Steelers by two games for the AFC\u2019s No. 1 seed.<\/p>\n

All four teams that play on Christmas \u2014 the Chiefs, Steelers, Texans and Ravens \u2014 have the same situation of playing three games in 11 days.<\/p>\n

The Christmas Day doubleheader will air on Netflix, the streaming service\u2019s first foray into live NFL rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
