The Kansas Chiefs have now lost four of their last six games with the latest loss coming at the hands of the Tennessee Titans. Patrick Mahomes made his return, but there were too many mistakes made in all three phases of the game, resulting in a 35-32 loss.
Here are five takeaways from the game:
Mahomes is fine
It’s unfortunate that Mahomes didn’t get a win considering how well he performed in his return from a dislocated kneecap. He had a great game statistically, throwing for 446 yards and three touchdowns to no interceptions while completing 72% of his passes. The best thing is that his knee didn’t appear to slow him down. Mahomes was able to move around and escape the pocket and buy time like he usually does. He reported no pain or concerns after the game either, which is a good sign.
Although Mahomes moved around well, he did look a little rusty at times throughout the game. He almost threw an interception on his first drive and missed his mark a couple of times on throws that we typically expect him to make. He did miss a few weeks, so it’s not exactly shocking that he looked off at times. Overall he looked really good and he’s only going to get better as he continues to get back into his groove.
