The world should still be talking about Patrick Mahomes.
If they hadn’t given away a win at the final second, the Kansas City Chiefs would be 2-0. For that matter, that’s also true if the Chiefs could develop anything resembling a pass rush or if the defense could stop a single rusher, or if any number of smaller plays or miscues had not happened.
This is important because apparently the only way to give Mahomes any credit is if he’s perfect.
After a performance in which Mahomes completed 77 percent of his passes, threw 3 touchdowns, passed for 343 yards, and was well on his way to engineering another fourth-quarter comeback, there’s zero buzz at all about the game’s best young player.
