NFL Week 1 Quarterback Performance  #1: Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes. 1. player. 124. . QB. Kansas City Chiefs

A trade between the Dolphins and Chiefs caused concerns for Kansas City’s offense in the early off-season. A decision to part ways with Tyreek Hill sent the Cheetah to Miami for the upcoming season. Hill’s impact on the development of Patrick Mahomes led many to believe the six-year veteran would lose his edge. A challenge to perform at a high-level motivated Andy Reid’s partner in crime – resulting in a busy day for Kansas City’s man under center.

Finding open receivers seemed too easy for No.15 on Sunday. 30 completions carried Reid’s offense throughout four quarters – helping the Chiefs lock in a week one victory. Travis Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster made the most of their quarterback’s hot start. Kelce and Smtih-Schuster combined for 200 yards receiving, accounting for more than half of Mahomes’ yardage on the day.

No.15’s five-touchdown performance in week one has the league on official notice. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Skyy Moore added another dimension to Kansas City’s offense. A 23-point win over the Arizona Cardinals sent chills to teams throughout the league – reminding everyone how potent the Chiefs offense can be.

Impressive victories in week one have fans looking forward to an exciting week two. Consecutive clutch performances from these gunslingers will help their teams continue to move in the right direction.
