Weeks ago, when Kansas City Chiefs fever was only starting and hubbub around one of the most talented quarterbacks in recent memory was as much due to surprise as anything else, I was listening to 610 Sports Radio in my car. Brad Fanning, one of the hosts of The Drive, was complaining that Patrick Mahomes was voted AFC Player of the Week when he should not have been named so. This was a good take. Tyreek Hill should have won the award, as he was game breaking in a way that Mahomes, who was nevertheless very good, wasn’t.
But this take wasn’t just a simple take to talk about.
