Raiders/Broncos Epic Fear of the Chiefs/Mahomes

[FloridaMan88]

Apparently no one cares enough about the Chargers to fear/feel anything, but the Raiders and Broncos are scared shitless...

From the Las Vegas Review Journal regarding the Raiders:

The current obstacle: Patrick Mahomes.

It doesn’t appear he’s going anywhere for some time.

Your move, Las Vegas.

Catch him if you can.

Mahomes is the NFL’s weekly example of an electric current charging across a 100-yard field.

It’s not so much about protecting a quarterback — although that helps — as it was against the likes of Buchanan and Bell and Lanier.
Rather, it’s about getting to one.

Which, when it comes to Mahomes, can feel hopeless at times.

In four career starts (and wins) against the Raiders, he is 82-of-135 passing for 1,194 yards with 11 touchdowns and one interception.
Gulp, is right.

“Obviously, the Chiefs are the team we haven’t been able to beat in the division lately,” said Davis, whose team is 2-12 against Kansas City since 2013. “It’s one of the reasons we drafted edge rushers (in Clelin Ferrell and Maxx Crosby) last year. We need more of them. We need another guy up the middle against Mahomes. We need linebackers to hold the edge. We need guys who can cover (Chiefs tight end) Travis Kelce and all their speed outside.

“Patrick Mahomes is unlike anyone else — he’s the monster now — and we need to improve all our phases of defense to deal with him.”

From the Denver Post regarding the Broncos:

Denver, we have a problem. Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes is face that will haunt Broncos’ nightmares for next decade.

Denver, we have a problem. His name is Patrick Mahomes, the face of the NFL’s future. This young Chiefs quarterback is the biggest thing to hit Kansas City since Arthur Bryant, or at least Len Dawson.

Mahomes is not only the NFL’s new above-the-marquee star, he’s the face destined to haunt the Broncos’ nightmares for the next decade.

Denver, we have a problem. What on earth can the Broncos do to about Mahomes? You mean other than dream about Tennessee running back Derrick Henry joining the orange and blue as a free agent? Not much, unless you consider begging for mercy a viable option.
