Yahoo Sports NFL on Patrick Mahomes
From the article
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was a player the league had never seen with his combination of arm talent, athleticism, and feel for the game...The team went 15-1 in the games that Mahomes started. However, there was always something off about that team, never really playing dominant football.
STACKED’s take
Mahomes' elite 2018-2022 run faded; 2024-2025 offense lacked identity despite 15-1 record.
Mahomes was the centerpiece of the Chiefs' dominant offensive identity from 2018-2022, defined by his rare combination of arm talent, athleticism, and feel for the game. The source notes the offense was built around him alongside Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, with strong supporting pieces like offensive tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz. However, the team's offensive identity has deteriorated since 2022; the source observes that in 2024, despite Mahomes starting 15-1, the team never really played dominant football and lacked a calling card. In Super Bowl LIX, the Eagles' elite defense stomped the Chiefs' offense, which had less talent and simply wasn't elite.
