For fans of the Kansas City Chiefs, it never feels right to blame a play, a game — or really, anything — on quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The superstar has twice won both the Super Bowl and the league’s MVP award — and throughout his seven-year career, he has rarely been held down for any significant stretch.
That is... until this season. The Chiefs are 2-4 since the bye week, scoring 20 or more points just twice over those six games. The latest letdown — a 20-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day — felt like the ugliest showing from the offense.
