Yahoo Sports NFL on Patrick Mahomes
From the article
Mahomes did not complete a pass beyond 12 air yards. On Monday, he did not need to for the Chiefs to fall asleep first in their division.
STACKED’s take
Mahomes shows rust softening but not yet fully back; short-game reliance continues.
Mahomes showed signs of returning to form in the Chiefs' win over Denver, though the source notes he is not yet fully back in all areas. He did not complete a pass beyond 12 air yards in the game, relying instead on short-to-intermediate passing, downfield blocks, and yards after the catch from receivers like Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and Rashee Rice. Mahomes scrambled 15 yards to the end zone for a diving touchdown, demonstrating his mobility is returning. The source quotes Mahomes saying 'I think I'll just come with more trust in me and trust in the knee and then trust in the offensive line to make those protections,' indicating he is building confidence post-injury.
