Rashee Rice lined up to Moore’s right with rookie cornerback Carrington Valentine in press man coverage.

Nixon stared down receiver Skyy Moore in the slot to the right of the formation. He saw Patrick Mahomes tap his knee and knew exactly what was coming. Keisean Nixon outsmarted the guy who might go down as the best quarterback of all time. On the field Sunday night, in cold, windy conditions, the Chiefs needed Mahomes, the league’s reigning MVP, to be more than just heroic. “Obviously, we’re not where we want to be at,” he said, “but I feel like we’re close.” Mahomes did his best to keep the Chiefs’ season in perspective. “We’ve just got to keep rallying together and just fighting and growing together.” “They executed better than us,” tight end Travis Kelce said. Sitting in front of his locker, Mahomes was surrounded by teammates who attempted to express their frustration without conceding that their goals - in postseason - were severely damaged. Mahomes didn’t say much on the short walk from the interview room to the visitors locker room, the quiet place where the Kansas City Chiefs gathered their belongings Sunday night after a disappointing 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers in which the NFL’s best quarterback couldn’t rally his teammates to an expected comeback victory. Patrick Mahomes walked off the podium inside Lambeau Field with his head bowed. Need tickets? Here you can find the best deals to see your favorite NFL team. Kansas City running back Isiah Pacheco - who was ejected in the fourth quarter - posted 18 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Mahomes completed 21 of 33 passes for 210 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. Green Bay kicker Anders Carlson also hit two field goals in the fourth quarter, including a game-defining 48-yarder that gave the Packers the 27-19 lead with 1:09 left. Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon picked off a throw by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes with 5:14 remaining. Kansas City cut Green Bay’s lead to two points after a Noah Gray touchdown early in the fourth quarter but failed to capitalize on their next drives.

The Packers never trailed in the matchup with the AFC West-leading Chiefs. The Packers improved to 6-6 with the win, their third straight, as the Chiefs fell to 8-4. The 25-year-old QB was 25-of-36 passing for 267 yards and three touchdowns.
