From the article

Mahomes was undeniably a bit rusty in his return, with more errant throws than typical. The timing was off, the deep and intermediate passes not as crisp. He started the game just 2-for-12 and finished 15-for-27. He passed for two TDs... There was an ugly interception and an average 86.0 passer rating.

Mahomes rusty in return: 15-for-27, 86.0 rating, 2 TDs, 1 INT; timing off on deep balls.

In his return game against Denver, Mahomes showed rust with inconsistent accuracy and timing. He started 2-for-12, finished 15-for-27 with a passer rating of 86.0, threw two TDs (a 1-yard flip to Walker and a 13-yard pass to Rice), and had an ugly interception. Deep and intermediate passes lacked crispness. Mahomes acknowledged the performance: 'I've got to be better. But it's a good start, as far as being out there and playing.' He noted he wants to get deep passes down more consistently to regain rhythm.
