Patrick Mahomes
2024 began as a year with questions surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs and their superstar Patrick Mahomes.
The upset Christmas loss to their division rival Las Vegas Raiders was their fifth in eight games, dropping the defending champions to 9-6 on the year.Make it 15 straight wins, including the playoffs, for their fourth Super Bowl trip and third title in five seasons. during, plus a 9-0 start to their 2024 campaign.
Mahomes missed out on a third league MVP award to Lamar Jackson last year, while he will be overlooked again in 2024 as Saquon Barkley, Josh Allen and possibly Jackson again favor Mahomes, who is barely in the league’s top 10 passing yards and touchdowns among quarterbacks this season.
BUT, this is a Chiefs offense that limps along without their usual offensive weapons to aid Mahomes’ genius; 2009-2019) of the 21st century.
Also, Mahomes is at his best, just like last year when he overcame Kansas City’s losing streak in January and led his team to their second straight championship in a 10-point loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Now, Mahomes and the Chiefs are targeting a “three-peat,” something never before accomplished in NFL history. Write him off at your peril.
