The 2021 NFL season may not have started the way Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes intended it to — but it sure ended that way. On Thursday morning, the league announced Mahomes as its AFC offensive player for December.
Mahomes led the Chiefs to four significant wins in December — three over AFC West division rivals in the Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers before finishing with a win over a familiar conference foe in the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chiefs were the only undefeated AFC team in December.
