Just about every elite quarterback is kicking into gear — even if his team isn't. And then there's Patrick Mahomes. Whereas Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow have to contend with their shoddy defenses, Mahomes' defense is overcoming him.
That's why his latest interception against the Raiders — his ninth of the year — didn't even matter this past Sunday. The Chiefs defense responded to Mahomes' turnover by forcing a turnover on downs in the red zone.
So, while his rough season continues — where he plays down to his opponents and struggles to transition between pass-catchers — Mahomes remains undefeated.
