It is not fair for the Kansas City Chiefs to play Patrick Mahomes each week against the NFL because no 23-year-old first year starting quarterback is supposed to be this good. This isn’t some flash-in-the-pan hot stretch like Deshaun Watson or Robert Griffin III.
This is who and what Mahomes is. Ten years from now will he still have the weapons with guys this wide open? Maybe not. But he will be this good with whatever talent and coaching staff he has for the rest of his career.
Against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night, Mahomes and the Chiefs did what many, including myself, expected them to do.
