I think Mahomes himself would tell you he’s not playing to his standard. I think that will change when the postseason starts and he gets locked in.
Everyone needs to read this part of the Star article again. The Chiefs are really really close to being elite on offense.
In a way the Hollywood injury is a good thing bc it has forced us and Worthy himself to build that chemistry with Patrick taking on a bigger role.
I think they fix this by January and Hollywood/Pacheco returning makes this Chiefs offense absolutely lethal.
Quote:
Those four plays — those four must-be-completed throws — came on drives in which the Chiefs didn’t end up scoring. In fact, they would total less than 10 yards combined after the misses.
So what would it look like if they had hit those shots instead?
Instead of being ranked 16th in yards, the Chiefs’ offense would be one yard per game shy of seventh — two spots higher than they were a year ago. Instead of ranking 11th in points per game, they would be sixth.
It is the literal difference between progression and regression.
For the team.
And the player.
Mahomes’ passer rating would jump from 90.2 to 100.1 with those four completions alone. He’d move to the top-five in the league in both yards and touchdowns.
