STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Mahomes improved dramatically in second half (13/15) after first-half struggles (2/12).

Mahomes showed a stark first-half to second-half split in the season opener: 2 completions on 12 attempts in the first half with neither resulting in a first down, then 13 completions on 15 attempts in the second half with eight resulting in a first down or touchdown. The source attributes the second-half efficiency improvement to the offense finding a better dropback rhythm after committing heavily to the run game, and notes that softer coverages and continued run support should help Mahomes exploit Denver's elite pass defense going forward.
