Over the past couple of outings, Patrick Mahomes has looked rather human. After an MVP-caliber performance in his first year starting, expectations were understandably high for the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback in his follow-up campaign. The year started off on the right note, with Mahomes leading the NFL in most positional categories through the first quarter-plus of the season.
Then came the injuries.
Mahomes was already dealing with a sore ankle since Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but a dislocated kneecap would sideline him officially. Matt Moore rose to the occasion, but Chiefs Kingdom was glad to see Mahomes back in the fold after only a couple weeks.
