Yahoo Sports NFL on Patrick Mahomes
From the article
"The quarterback play is at probably the highest level it's ever been," says Allen, who will start against Mahomes on Monday. "When they come back, it's kind of like they're back at full strength. If anything, they're rested and feel better."
STACKED’s take
Mahomes faces split defensive approach; some scouts see no real injury advantage to exploit.
Mahomes faces a Broncos defense that will test him early in the game, with defensive coordinators and players surveyed by Yahoo Sports split on whether to exploit his ACL recovery. Zach Allen, the Broncos veteran edge rusher who will start against Mahomes, noted that "The quarterback play is at probably the highest level it's ever been" and that when quarterbacks return from injury, "it's kind of like they're back at full strength. If anything, they're rested and feel better." Cowboys defensive pass game coordinator Derrick Ansley said "Pat's always been quicker than fast, so he's still going to have that instinct" and advocated to "scout it straight up and start with what they do well from past film."
