Mahomes was clearly off with the sickness, he was slower, not processing as well, and so Andy decided he should also call a garbage game, and the receivers helped out by dropping 6-7 passes and fumbling another.
Honestly the most surprising part of this game was that the Chiefs were still only down 5 in the 4th quarter with Denver punting them the ball, luckily they traded away some draft picks to bring back a guy they didn’t want to keep after last year so he could muff a fucking punt at the 5 yard line where he shouldn’t even be catching it.
Not making excuses for Mahomes, but the rest of the offense saw him struggling and decided they’d fuck up even worse so he wouldn’t feel bad I guess.
Crazy to beat a division rival that many times in a row, honestly lucky several games not to have lost earlier.
I remember he threw 3 picks against them last year too. Doesn’t matter how good you are, sometimes divisional games are just unpredictable.
That’s the beauty of rivalry games. The energy and hatred they emit is on a completely different level so there’s no guarantee of who’s winning until the clock hits 0 in 4th quarter.
Mahomes finished today with a Passer Rating of 59.2
This was the second lowest of his career, the only worse game being 57.3 in the aforementioned game
Imma give him a pass playing at that elevation with the flu.
That being said… if he was going to struggle that badly it’s up to andy reid to take him out and put in someone that isn’t so impaired.
They always play us hard. Surprised we were able to keep the win streak alive for as long as we did.
Broncos played great yesterday and deserve the W. Cant turn the ball over 5x and win a game in the NFL unless something insane happens.
Russ didnt do much but nailed the throws he had to make.
Congrats Denver fans.
Well this year it’s obviously because Denver has that great defense that they’ve got
