Chiefs having 'a blast' with 'Showtime Mahomes' at QB

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Inside the Kansas City Chiefs' locker room, they've been looking for a nickname for their record-breaking young quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. Tight end Travis Kelce may have settled the issue in the moments after the Chiefs' 38-27 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

"Showtime Mahomes."

The nickname may or may not stick, but it seems appropriate for the way Mahomes and the Chiefs are scoring points. They rolled to a 35-10 halftime lead by scoring a touchdown on each of their five first-half possessions.
