Patrick Mahomes offers guidance to Justin Fields as Bears face challenges following a rough beginning.
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs rebounded with a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. This Sunday, they'll be hosting the winless Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
In the run-up to their Week 3 face-off, Mahomes discussed his expectations for the game and touched upon the early-season challenges Justin Fields and the Bears are experiencing.
Mahomes had sage advice for Fields, essentially encouraging him to have confidence in his natural ability.
"Believe in your skills. Follow your gut. You're in the NFL for a reason. You've showcased your prowess in both college and the pros. Rely on your innate ability and continue being the player you've always been � hopefully, just not against us this week," Mahomes chuckled. While he acknowledges Fields' potential, he's naturally hoping it won't be on display this week.
During the Bears' 27-27 tie with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Fields went 16-for-29, racking up 211 passing yards and a touchdown but also threw two interceptions.
On a different note, the longstanding discussion about whether NFL stadiums should opt for grass or turf surfaces has gained momentum recently. The debate intensified after New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers sustained an Achilles injury on MetLife Stadium's updated turf.
Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes has now weighed in on the topic. The esteemed quarterback expressed a preference for whichever surface is most conducive to player health and safety. Given studies indicating grass might be the superior option in this regard, he remarked, "It's straightforward; statistics suggest grass is better for player health. I'd always opt for a surface that ensures my well-being."
