Sift through Rashee Rice’s return and Josh Simmons’ continued absence, and there was a buzz word this week at Chiefs headquarters: Consistency.

“It was the first thing Coach Reid said,” Patrick Mahomes revealed Wednesday. “It’s about showing consistency. I mean, that's something that's super important in this league. You can have highs and lows and stuff like that. This a long NFL season. It's about who can be the most consistent, week-in and week-out. And so that's something that we have to be better at.

“We've showcased that we can play against anybody, but we've also showcased that we can make mistakes and lose against anybody. And so, for us, it's about going out there and playing our best football every single week.”

The Chiefs get that opportunity on Sunday, but first…
