Patrick Mahomes opens up about "being the villain" against rival NFL teams

Patrick Mahomes, the reigning Super Bowl MVP and the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, spoke with CBS News' Nate Burleson about everything from football to fatherhood for an interview airing Monday on CBS Mornings.

In an exclusive clip previewing their conversation, Mahomes said he loves "being the villain" when playing against NFL opponents.
