Patrick Mahomes also set many records during his crazy game against the Eagles. Coming off two devastating losses, Mahomes needed a big game to regain confidence and momentum. Unfortunately for the Eagles, they got caught in the storm and suffered a heavy defeat. The 42-30 scoreline was one of the biggest this week.
With the Eagles up three points thanks to a field goal, Mahomes knew he couldn’t let the Chiefs trail too far behind. As a result, the magisterial quarterback bobbed and weaved until he tossed a peach of an underhand throw to Clyde Edwards- Helaire, who walked it into the end zone.
The throw has left many people wondering whether this is something he drew up in practice. As the sport evolves, quarterbacks like Mahomes have to evolve with it in order to be more successful than the rest. In the same game week, we witnessed similar incredible performances from quarterbacks like Mac Jones, Lamar Jackson and Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen.
Despite the performances, Mahomes 5 touchdowns with one interception is an MVP-worthy performance. He’s put not just the entire fanbase, but even the greatest quarterbacks in the world on notice. Only exciting things coming up for Patrick Mahomes in the coming season.

After picking the Eagles apart, Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes head back home to play Buffalo Bills. The Bills have looked rampant in the past two fixtures, picking up some startling wins. This week, they destroyed Houston Texans 40-0, a score as impressive as it is humiliating for the Texans. A loss like that only furthers claims that Cam Newton will replace their struggling rookie quarterback.
In the meantime, Josh Allen and crew will prepare to take the former Super Bowl winners in their very own backyard. The Chiefs picked up their first win of the season in front of a home crowd, and would love to pick up another. But given their recent form, they will have to prepare very hard.
