On Monday, the NFL announced that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been nominated to become Week 1’s FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week.
The Chiefs quarterback completed 27 of 36 passes for 337 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions — good for a 131.4 passer rating — in Sunday’s 33-29 defeat of the Cleveland Browns in the season opener.
Mahomes won the weekly award three times in 2018 — when was also named the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Year — and won it once in 2019.
Other nominees include Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
