Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been named FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week for his sparkling performance in the Week 2 game against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. The announcement came after the Chiefs quarterback was named the AFC offensive player of the week for Week 2.
Mahomes completed 30 of 44 passes (with four touchdown passes and no interceptions) while leading the team to a 28-10 victory in Oakland; his passer rating of 131.2 was the second-highest of his short career.
As noted in this week’s excellent Stacking the Box Score FanPost here on Arrowhead Pride, Mahomes’ blistering second-quarter performance in the game had the third-most expected points added in any quarter of any NFL game since 2009.
