Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is as hot as a pair of brakes on a Formula 1 race car, as he and the Chiefs have jumped out the Gate to a 2-0 start. Mahomes threw 6 touchdown passes Sunday in a 42-37 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It gives him 10 touchdown passes in his first two games, which is a new NFL record. There are 3 players tied with 9, including the record holder Peyton Manning who threw 55 touchdown passes in 2013.
Mahomes blazing start could mean only one thing, Andy Reid's gamble is paying off tremendously. The Chiefs traded veteran Alex Smith away this past off-season and put their future in Mahomes sooner rather than later, but who's complaining.....Right?
The Chiefs offense seems like it may be a top 10 offense all season with the numbers they have put up the first two games. Tyreek Hill's speed and play making ability combined with Mahomes' arm strength could make them one of the more dangerous combos in the NFL. They also have weapons in Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce and Sammy Watkins, which makes this team a legitimate threat to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl in February.
The second year QB seems like he put in the work this off-season to learn Andy Reid's version of the West Coast offense and tweak it to his liking, so he could make the proper adjustments. Mahomes seems comfortable and more confident than last season, but its only two games in and we have a ways to go.
Mahomes may challenge DeShaun Watson's record 19 touchdown passes in 7 games last season. His next stop San Francisco who's secondary has struggled the first two games.
