The Kansas City Chiefs are 11-1, but after another sweaty win in Week 13, fans in Western Missouri should be a little worried about the defending Super Bowl champions heading into the home stretch of the regular season.
Patrick Mahomes’s inconsistent play has been part of Kansas City’s struggles this season, and the Chiefs’ narrow margin of victory against the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday was partially caused by his inability to produce more points.
According to the experts at Pro Football Network, Mahomes posted a QB+ grade of 72.2 in Kansas City’s latest win, his lowest mark in a victory since 2019.
Despite the poor grade, Mahomes threw for 306 yards and a touchdown without being intercepted.
Ultimately, despite his disappointing performance, the Chiefs maintained their role as the top team in the AFC, and Kansas City controls its own destiny to win the conference’s No. 1 playoff seed.
Stay tuned to see if Mahomes can earn a better QB+ grade when the Chiefs face the Los Angeles Chargers on December 8.
