I was physically at the Pittsburgh game in 2018 (2nd game of the 2018 season), and saw him carve up the Steelers that day, in a place the Chiefs haven't won a game since the early 1980s....In Pat's third NFL start, he led a team to do something the franchise as a whole hadn't done since Pat Mahomes SENIOR was a teenager....and did it in glorious fashion throwing 6 TDs against a pretty good Steelers defense.....
It was solidified to me the next week against the 49ers: 2nd Q TD pass to Conley in the back of the end zone, where he ran all around avoiding the rush...that in and of itself was crazy, but how he found Conley through all that was amazing, and unlike anything I had ever seen from a Chiefs QB in my lifetime.....and anytime you get Richard Sherman to do a "WTF shoulder shrug...." it probably must be good....I had no worries about Mahomes after that play.....
