Patrick Mahomes engaged in a bit of friendly trash-talking over the summer but was forced to own up to it when Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers handed the Kansas City Chiefs their second loss of the season on Sunday. 

While playing at the American Celebrity Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe, California, in July, Mahomes was cautioned by a fan to "watch out for Justin Herbert next year." He responded, "I’ll see it when I believe it," seemingly mixing up the popular expression.

"Nobody is happy with the way we played," Mahomes said after the game. "You take a loss to a division opponent, it's not a good thing. We haven't done a lot of that in my time here. It's how you respond. We have a long season ahead of us."
