STACKED’s take
Mahomes shows post-surgery form: 11-for-13, 145 yards, 2 TDs in second half.
Mahomes returned from ACL/LCL surgery in December and showed immediate effectiveness in the Chiefs' 31-10 Week 1 win over Denver. After a shaky start with just two completions on 12 pass attempts in the first half, Mahomes went 11-for-13 for 145 yards and two touchdowns in the second half. He improved to 8-0 at home against Denver in his career. On his 10th snap, Mahomes scrambled out of the pocket and dove for a 15-yard touchdown while being hit by two defenders; his top speed during that scramble reached 15.8 mph, which was 2.5 mph faster than his average rushing speed last season per Next Gen Stats. Mahomes said the play gave him confidence: 'That was definitely the moment, physically, to say all this work has paid off. I didn't feel anything.'
