Yahoo Sports NFL on Patrick Mahomes

ArticleThe Good and the Bad from the Chiefs’ loss to BroncosNovember 4, 2026

From the article

Mahomes should've thrown this ball away, but I don't like limiting the field on third-and-2; mainly, designing the play for Royals or Worthy is bad.

Mahomes' passing game was strong; one third-down decision-making critique noted.

Patrick Mahomes should have thrown the ball away on the third-and-2 play before Butker's missed kick, according to the source. The source notes that the Chiefs' passing game was legitimately good overall in this game, a huge difference from Week 1 when it was terrible, despite the team having two shaky tackles against Denver's great pass rush.
