From the episode

Mahomes had a big day despite completing 15 balls. 15 for 225. It's the second. It's a weird game. Second time he's won, won a game in which he only completed 15 passes this year... Mahomes averaged 11.3 air yards per attempt tonight.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Mahomes wins with only 15 completions, 11.3 air yards/attempt; feast-or-famine offense.

Patrick Mahomes completed only 15 passes for 225 yards but won the game against the Raiders, marking the second time this season he's won a game with only 15 completions—the first time he's done this in five years (not since 2021). Mahomes averaged 11.3 air yards per attempt, significantly higher than his typical range, with six passes of 20+ yards in the air. The source notes this represents a departure from the Chiefs' typical offensive approach over the last couple of years, describing the offense as 'feast or famine' and dependent on explosive plays. Mahomes had a critical third-and-five completion to Taequann Thornton against cover zero where he 'bought that time' and found Thornton downfield, a play that changed the game's win expectancy.
