Patrick Mahomes<\/span>\u00a0and the Chiefs have an extremely congested schedule coming up \u2013 and the passer is far from thrilled with the NFL.<\/p>\n

The two-time defending champions will embark on a stretch of three games in 11 days beginning this weekend when they face the Browns on Sunday, before hosting the Texans on December 21 and then traveling to the Steelers on\u00a0Christmas<\/span>.<\/p>\n

And while the Chiefs are sitting pretty atop the AFC with a 12-1 record, Mahomes seems to be dreading his team\u2019s next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

\u2018It is not a good feeling,\u2019 he told reporters on Wednesday, per\u00a0ESPN. \u2018I\u2019m excited to play on Christmas to hopefully get back from what we did last year [when the Chiefs lost to the Raiders], but you never want to play this many games in this short of time.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\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.\u2019<\/p>\n

Mahomes added, \u2018All you can do is focus on the game and the practice that you had that day. I try to prepare my body all year long for this stretch by tailoring my workouts, tailoring how you practice and you prepare. The 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.\u2019<\/p>\n

The quarterback and his team haven\u2019t had a break since returning from their Week 6 bye<\/p>\n

In addition to the Chiefs, the Texans, Steelers and Ravens will also be playing three games in the next 11 days.<\/p>\n

Crucially, though, the Ravens and Texans are coming right off of a bye in Week 14, while the Steelers had their break in Week 9.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs haven\u2019t had a rest since they returned from their Week 6 bye \u2013 a fact that defensive star Chris Jones was eager to point out.<\/p>\n

\u2018This is one thing I\u2019m doing this offseason is I\u2019m going to the NFLPA, especially with us having three games in [an 11-day] span, that we\u2019re mandatory to have a late bye week,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018With our schedule, it\u2019s kind of awkward, to say the least. \u2026 That\u2019s a conversation to have this offseason. If a team has somewhat of a schedule like that, they should get a late-season bye. We don\u2019t need a Week [6] bye \u2026 Give it to us in Week 8, Week 10, something like that.\u2019<\/p>\n

Mahomes and Co. will have a week-and-a-half to recover after their Christmas Day game before facing the Broncos in Week 18 on January 5.<\/p>\n

And if Kansas City manages to wrap up a first-round playoff bye before Week 18 \u2013 as they currently have a two-game AFC lead over the Bills \u2013 Mahomes and the team\u2019s other starters could be held out of the final regular season game.<\/p>\n

The quarterback then wouldn\u2019t play until January 18 or 19 in the divisional round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
