Showing no signs of early-season chemistry concerns with his talented new pass-catchers, Patrick Mahomes left Week 1 in Arrowhead with a clear message: the arrow is again pointing upwards on the Kansas City Chiefs’ downfield passing attack. Masters in the art of pre-snap motion and deception, Mahomes and the Chiefs utilized it flawlessly in a late-game, must-score environment, creating enough confusion for Mahomes to connect on a 35-yard score to his standout rookie. In two-time Most Valuable Player form when it mattered most, Mahomes went 20-for-28 with 291 yards, one touchdown, and a 101.9 quarterback rating, captaining the 27-20 win on Sept. 5, 2024.
