We've far exceeded expectations. I'm generally a pessimistic optimist. To keep expectations low, I like to assume the worst for us and the best for our opponents.
I expected something like 4,800 yards and maybe 33 TDs for Mahomes. A good year for most QBs but a step back for him. Similar step back for Kelce due to age and now being the main focus for defenses to key on. 1,100 and 7 TDs or so.
Now, Mahomes is the MVP frontrunner and Kelce is quietly a dark horse OPOY candidate.
A 7th round rookie RB is averaging over 5 YPC, the OL has really settle in these last few weeks, Juju and MVS are better than Pringle/Robinson, Chris Jones is having a DPOY type season, and we're getting significant playing time out of 4th and 7th round rookie CBs.
If you'd told me 8-2 prior to the start of the season I'd have said "hell yeah, I'll take it!". Given the rest of the schedule, we could realistically be looking at a 14-4, 15-2 finish.
