From the article

Mahomes' 2025 debut was far from perfect; thankfully for the Chiefs, he wasn't needed much against a rudderless Broncos offense. Most importantly, though, it showed that his run-and-gun mentality remains intact. Mahomes threw aggressively while the game was in doubt, and he ran plenty, including a red-zone touchdown early on. We may be well past the days of 300-yard averages for Mahomes, but against this leaky Colts defense, that may be the baseline.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mahomes' run-and-gun mentality intact; 300 yards could be baseline vs. Colts.
