Mahomes took 34 sacks through 14 games in the 2025 season, on pace for a career-high; he fell two short of the 36 sacks he took in 2024. Prior to 2024, his career high was 28 sacks in a season, and he averaged 24 sacks per season as a starter before 2024. The source notes the Chiefs need to reduce sack rate back toward that historical average, as drive-killing sacks damage offensive rhythm as much as turnovers.
