Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke with reporters on Tuesday about the challenges and injuries the team has faced so far this season. He discussed his leadership during tough times and his trust in his teammates.

The Kansas City Chiefs hit the Thanksgiving mile marker on the NFL calendar at 10-1, but they are not exactly as dominating as that record would suggest. The defending back-to-back champions have been engulfed in one-score games throughout the season but have come out the other side with a victory each time.

Patrick Mahomes has been fined nearly $15,000 by the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct. According to NBC Sports, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, 29, was fined $14,069 for a "violent gesture" he made in the fourth quarter of the team's away game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Nov. 17. The Chiefs lost the matchup in a final score of 30-21.
