Two weeks. That’s all it took for the Patrick Mahomes bandwagon to become standing room only. The Chiefs’ young quarterback set an NFL record with 10 touchdown passes in the first two games of a season. On Sunday, he threw for 326 yards, tied a franchise record with six touchdown passes and led the Chiefs to their first win in Pittsburgh since 1986.
Maybe most impressively, he has spread the ball around in those two games to the point that three receivers have already logged 100-yard receiving days and seven players have touchdown catches.
Here’s a closer look at some of what has the national media raving about Mahomes, and a look at what adjustments the Chiefs defense made to get crucial stops in the second half.
