Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was one of six Chiefs players that attended the 2022 NFL Pro Bowl from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon. Mahomes was accompanied by teammates Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, Orlando Brown, Frank Clark, and Tyrann Mathieu.
Midway through the second quarter, Mahomes was asked by ESPN sideline reporter Lisa Salters how it felt to be at the Pro Bowl with his fellow Chiefs teammates following the bitter overtime loss to Cincinnati in the AFC Championship game.
“It still hurts,” Mahomes said. “You want to be in that Super Bowl, but you enjoy this. It’s an honor to be in the Pro Bowl. And so to be able to be in the Pro Bowl with a lot of my teammates, see their families. It’s a good way to cap off the season for us.”
Salters then asked how long it took Mahomes to get over the loss to Joe Burrow’s Bengals.
“I’m still not over it,” he said. “I don’t think I’ll be over it until we’re playing in another Super Bowl, so I’ll have to use that as motivation going forward. We have to go through the process again. You start from scratch every single year in this league. You have to go in with the mindset of I’m going to get better and better every single day and hopefully give yourself a chance to be in the Super Bowl.”
Mahomes played roughly a quarter and a half of the Pro Bowl, completing 2 of 6 throws for 21 yards and a pick-six.
The AFC defeated the NFC 41-35.
