DENVER -- After congratulating quarterback Bo Nix near midfield following the Broncos ' last-second victory Sunday, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes walked off alone and didn't say anything before entering the visitors locker room inside Empower Field.

Once there, Mahomes remained silent.

When he reached the podium for his news conference, he used his voice to take much of the blame for the Chiefs' 22-19 loss , an outcome that leveled the team's record at 5-5.

"I think we're really talented and we've got a lot of great players, but it's about being more consistent. I think it starts with me," Mahomes said. "There's times where I'm firing and we're moving the ball down the field at ease. But there's times where we go in spurts where I miss a throw or a [pass] protection call.
