Patrick Mahomes Faces Heavy Duress In Clunker

Patrick Mahomes Faces Heavy Duress In Clunker

one year ago

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (illness) submitted his career's second-worst single-game passer rating (59.2) in Week 8's stunning 24-9 loss to the Denver Broncos. Dealing with the flu and playing catch-up from the get-go in freezing conditions Sunday, Mahomes -- along with K.C.'s offense -- matched the temperature's frigidity. The 28-year-old threw two interceptions and was the victim of a strip-sack fumble while running for his life all day long. While likely to be well over what ailed him here by next Sunday, the reigning MVP was seen getting a bloodied non-throwing hand wrapped up during the fourth quarter. Assuming he is good to go, Mahomes should still top the QB1 ranks for Week 9's Frankfurt clash of the titans and get-right spot against the Miami Dolphins. Mahomes' fantasy managers likely hope the organization's trade deadline moves result in a new vertical threat for the big-armed signal-caller.
