Got seven games left, and we basically gotta run the table,&#8221; the star tight end said on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=k5vd_jStRXc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">&#8220;New Heights&#8221;<\/a> podcast with his brother, Jason.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I haven\u2019t been in this situation in a long, long time, man. It\u2019s even more frustrating knowing the kind of guys we have, knowing the kind of talent we have, knowing the type of coaches we have. Everybody\u2019s just got to kind of look at themselves in the mirror, man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City was riddled with injuries in the early going but is healthy now. Oddly, the team has hit a skid with a full roster. The Chiefs&#8217; two losses came in Buffalo against the Bills and against the Denver Broncos on a walk-off field goal, also on the road.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/patrick-mahomes2.jpg\" alt=\"Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes wait to lead the team onto the field before a preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Aug. 10, 2024, in Jacksonville, Fla.

However, there&#8217;s no time for &#8220;pointing fingers,&#8221; as Kelce put it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whatever you go into mentally when you\u2019re frustrated, you gotta kick that s&#8212; aside, and you gotta think about how you\u2019re f&#8212;ing going to attack the day. And you gotta put all the selfish s&#8212;, all the things you want for yourself, aside, and it\u2019s just gotta be about this team, the guy next to you. And you gotta have fun doing it, man,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs do have a rather favorable schedule, and they should be favorites in most, if not, all of their games down the stretch. They host the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/sports\/nfl\/indianapolis-colts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a> on Sunday before a Thanksgiving game in Dallas against the Cowboys.
