Patrick Mahomes was locked in ahead of Sunday's AFC championship game matchup against the Baltimore Ravens

Clearly, emotions are running high heading into the game, as Mahomes brushed aside Ravens kicker Justin Tucker's psychological troll attempt during pregame warmups. Then, Kansas City Chiefs players were involved in some pushing and shoving with Ravens defensive back Arthur Maulet

It's no surprise, then, that Mahomes carried this intensity into an NSFW pregame speech to the Chiefs, which was recorded by Adam Teicher of ESPN and shared onto his account on X, formerly Twitter. 

Mahomes can be heard shouting, "How bad do you f***ing want it?" in the fiery speech.

One could make the case that this year's AFC championship game means even more to Kansas City, given that the road to this point has been rockier than they've become accustomed to during the Mahomes era. 

It will be apparent just how bad the Chiefs want it on Sunday, as the Ravens, the AFC's top seed, will be far-and-away the best team they've faced this season.
