Yahoo Sports NFL on Patrick Mahomes
From the article
Patrick Mahomes has the best opportunity in years not only to win, but to prove he can elevate the play of his receivers... I trust Mahomes to make the decisive plays and the Chiefs' defense to force a costly mistake.
STACKED’s take
Mahomes positioned as Chiefs' key advantage; best opportunity to elevate receivers.
Patrick Mahomes is positioned as the Chiefs' key advantage in this matchup. Maurice Elston trusts 'Mahomes to make the decisive plays and the Chiefs' defense to force a costly mistake' and expects him to capitalize on play-action opportunities if Seattle loads up to stop Kenneth Walker. Matt Stagner believes 'Patrick Mahomes has the best opportunity in years not only to win, but to prove he can elevate the play of his receivers.' Mark Gunnels notes the Seahawks defense 'can make life difficult for Patrick Mahomes, especially if they're able to generate pressure without having to blitz,' but this is framed as a challenge rather than a prediction of failure. The overall sentiment is that Mahomes' playmaking ability and experience give the Chiefs an edge despite Seattle's defensive strength.
