In the last two years, Mahomes has 76 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. He’s completed almost 66 percent of his passes. In his short time in the playoffs, he has eight touchdowns and zero interceptions. He’s averaging almost 300 yards per game over his postseason career. He has the most weapons going into championship week. He has the best arm out of all the quarterbacks, and he absolutely tortured the Texans dropping 51 points. Yes, Aaron Rodgers has a Super Bowl ring, but we’d still take Mahomes.
