For the first time Sunday, Texas Tech football fans finally got to see an “Air Raid” era quarterback start a meaningful NFL game. Pat Mahomes, passed for 256 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions on 15-27 passing en route to a 38-28 road win over the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday afternoon.
Opinions about whether Mahomes would be a reliable starter in the NFL have been split since he was anointed to lead the Chiefs’ offense following last season. But after the show he put on in week one, it seems everyone is now buying in.
NFL reporter and radio host Adam Schien had some of the most effusive praise of the former Red Raider when he referred to him as an NFL MVP candidate.
