PATRICK Mahomes’ stats through five weeks of the season make for worrying reading for the rest of the NFL.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has led his team to a 5-0 start to begin the 2024 campaign.
But Mahomes and the offense has looked far from it’s best to begin the season.
The 29-year-old has had to deal with a number of injury problems on offense.
At the beginning of Week 6, Mahomes was 22nd in passing yards with 1,235.
He also had six interceptions to go with his six touchdowns.
And the superstar quarterback was just 16th in QBR with a rating of 55.8.
Despite his own struggles, Mahomes has still managed to lead the Chiefs to five straight wins.
NFL fans are stunned at how Kansas City keeps managing to pull it off, wondering “how do they keep winning?”
It’s an ominous sign for the rest of the NFL as his Chiefs chase history.
Kansas City is looking to become the first team in history to win three straight Super Bowls.
Fans launched into a social media debate on whether Mahomes’ form is worthy of MVP.
“If he wins MVP the voting is absolutely rubbish,” one said.
Another posted, “He shouldn’t even be touching MVP right now.”
But other fans disagreed – and claimed he was showing his true value despite the stats.
“If Mahomes wasn’t on the Chiefs they’d probably be 0-5,” one argued.
“Pretty much the definition of Most Valuable Player.”
Mahomes has had to deal with losing free agent wide receiver signing Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown.
He also saw electric sophomore receiver Rashee Rice suffer a knee injury in Week 4’s win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Kansas City has placed running back Isiah Pacheco on injured reserve as well.
And tight end star Travis Kelce has yet to find the end zone in a tough start to the season.
The 35-year-old has shown signs of his old self in the last two weeks with 16 catches for 159 yards.
The Chiefs are on bye in Week 6 before they face the San Francisco 49ers in a repeat of this year’s Super Bowl.
