Chiefs Why Patrick Mahomes is an Overrated Gimmick Propped Up By Andy Reid

Yeah, any idiot worried about Mahomes having to play playoff games on the road is just that; an idiot.

His numbers in the regular season are actually quite a bit better on the road than at Arrowhead. He typically plays his best football away from home.

Home: 31-7 record (.816 win %) 291 ypg 65% comp.% 83-24 TD-INT QB Rating 100.5

Away: 33-9 record (.786 win %) 314 ypg 68% comp.% 109-25 TD-INT QB Rating 110.4

That's for his career, not including playoff games. As you can see, an ever so slightly better winning % at home (likely due to better defense and home crowd aspect), but in pretty much every statistical category that means anything (I didn't post all of them, obviously) he is an even better QB away from Arrowhead.

Make no mistake, there will come a time when the Chiefs have a lesser W-L record with Mahomes, due to injuries on the team, bad luck, poor performance by a unit, etc. and they will have a lower seed and have to go on the road to win playoff games.

And then Mahomes will do what Mahomes does on the road and promptly rip the hearts out of another AFC fanbase as they were sure this was the year due to hosting playoff games. Can't wait to see it happen . . . . . . . .
