NFL Network analyst on why Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes has early lead in MVP race

The Chiefs have another eight games to play in the regular season, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes is already having a monster year.

My colleague Blair Kerkhoff has an excellent breakdown of all that Mahomes has done so far this season, and it seems that each week people who cover the NFL are more and more impressed.

That includes NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger, who said no player in the league has played better in the first half of the season than Mahomes.

“If they gave out the league MVP trophy through eight weeks, I’d give it to Patrick Mahomes over (Rams running back) Todd Gurley by just about this much,” Baldinger said on the NFL Network.
