KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not exactly thrilled about the NFL forcing the two-time defending Super Bowl champions to play three times over an 11-day span in the coming weeks. The Chiefs are among four teams along with the Texans, Steelers and Ravens who will play on Christmas Day this year. But with the holiday falling on Wednesday, those four also will play the prior Saturday along with this coming Sunday. Asked about the packed schedule, and one that could have significant playoff ramifications, Mahomes said: “It’s not a good feeling. You never want to play this amount of games in this short of time. It’s not great for your body. But at the end of the day it’s your job.”
