Patrick Mahomes isn't a complete dual-threat quarterback like Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson or Buffalo Bills signal caller Josh Allen. But don't expect the Kansas City Chiefs star to remain solely a pocket passer in Saturday's AFC divisional round battle against the Houston Texans.

The two-time MVP and three-time Super Bowl champion has saved many of his best career rushing performances for the postseason, tapping into his mobility often when the chips are down for his team and offense. Mahomes has five playoff rushing touchdowns in 19 postseason games. He's tallied 50-plus rushing yards on four separate occasions, and his late-game scamper against the Philadelphia Eagles in the final minutes effectively secured a 38-35 victory in Super Bowl LVII.
