As the Chiefs were putting together their game-winning drive at Denver last weekend, all eyes focused on rookie quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who had reentered the game in a pressure situation and marched his team into scoring position.
Less obvious was the contribution of wide receiver Albert Wilson. He was Mahomes’ favorite target all day — at no time more so than on the drive that produced Harrison Butker’s 30-yard field goal as time expired.
In a game in which most of the regulars rested, Wilson didn’t start. But he wound up producing the best statistical game of his four-year career, with 10 receptions (in 11 targets) for 147 yards on only 28 offensive snaps.
