The Chiefs vs the Broncos. The best game of this week culminated with the biggest turnaround of the season. Last time, Super Bowl champs came into the game on the back of six back-to-back wins. Also including the one against the Broncos just two weeks ago 19-8. That win meant that the Chiefs took their consecutive winning streak against the Broncos to 16. But it seems that said streak is broken now!
What you thought would be a walk in the park for the Chiefs turned out to be the scariest nightmare of this season. Russel Wilson took up the charge from the start and took matters into his own hands to get the Broncos through. He scored 3 touchdowns in total while the reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes tried his best and covered nearly 250 passing yards, but he could not manage to secure a single TD. How did the QBs stand up in terms of passing TDs at the end of week 8?
Mahomes vs Wilson: the battle is real!

Patrick Mahomes is the best QB, no doubt, but the veteran Wilson is rightly proving his worth with his exceptional performances. Though he has not managed to take his team home many times this season, his stats are rightly challenging the likes of Patrick Mahomes in terms of sheer numbers. A recent post by ?MLFootball? on X laid down the comparison perfectly.
INSANE STAT: #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has 15 passing TDs and 8 INTs this season. #Broncos QB Russell Wilson has 16 passing TDs and 4 INTs this season.
It’s all about the media narrative, no one would have ever guessed this by just watching the games and news.
