VIDEO: WR Rashee Rice credits all of his success to his QB Patrick Mahomes, talking about all the work they put in together
The reigning Super Bowl championsĀ Kansas City ChiefsĀ arenāt exactly steamrolling through the NFL, but they have climbed to 3-0 after beating the Atlanta Falcons 22-17 in Week 3.
While superstar quarterbackĀ Patrick MahomesĀ acknowledged their offensive struggles, he also had several compliments to wide receiverĀ Rashee Rice. He had a game-high 12 receptions with 110 receiving yards, along with a touchdown.
ā[Rice is] a guy whoās going to make plays happen,ā Mahomes said, viaĀ a report from Ricko Mendoza for SB Nation. āHeās done a great job of when theyāre putting all that attention on Travis [Kelce], heās making stuff happen underneath.ā
The Chiefs might also be thankful that theĀ NFL deferred its decision to suspend RiceĀ until after the 2024 season, due to his involvement in a six-car crash in Dallas during the offseason.
Week 3: Chiefs vs. Falcons
Patrick Mahomes also had more to say about Rashee Rice.
āIām sure defenses are going to start adjusting to try to put more coverage toward him,ā the star QB said. āThatās when Travis will make plays, thatās when [Xavier] Worthy will make plays, or Juju [Smith-Schuster] or whoever. [Riceās] a legit, number one receiver. You see that every single week, heās making more and more plays. Iām just super proud of what heās done already, but I think he has another level he can even unlock.ā
For his part, though, despite their starās confidence, Rice remained focused on his own development. He remains unsatisfied with his current play, and vowed to continue working to achieve his full potential.
āI love that just because heās the greatest quarterback Iāve ever played with, so whenever he feels like he hasnāt had a great game, I feel the same way. So, we just got to get back to practice so we can do better together,ā Rice said.
Mahomes admitted his strugglesĀ to meet his own high standards against the Falcons. His 26 of 39 passing with 217 yards and two touchdowns look solid, but he still threw an interception, continuing his ongoing pattern of throwing one interception per game.
āIām trusting my arm too much on some of those throws,ā he said. āEven the first throw of the game, I just kind of flicked it off balance and didnāt hit Rashee [Rice] going down the seam there. I got to get back to my fundamentals. Thatās just stuff that I go through sometimes.ā
On the Falcons
AfterĀ signing Kirk Cousins, the FalconsĀ fell to 1-2,Ā aĀ disappointing showingĀ for a team that upgraded its quarterback position. Meanwhile, their lone win came down to a Saquon Barkley drop, meaning even that game could have easily gone the other way.
The Falcons have faced a tough schedule, but the NFL wonāt give any struggling team any breaks. Look for them to try bouncing back against theĀ New Orleans Saints, who lost their Week 3Ā matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
