Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes may be a first year starter, but he's receiving praise from some of the NFL's top defenders, like Von Miller.
Mahomes led an epic comeback on Monday night to beat the Denver Broncos 27-23. The Chiefs improved to 4-0 and remain the top offense in the NFL this year. Their staggering average of 36.3 points per game narrowly leads the Los Angeles Rams' mark of 35.
Von Miller is one of the NFL's best pass-rushers, and he commended Mahomes after his stellar fourth quarter performance on Monday. From Michael David Smith of NBC Sports:
“He’s tough. He’s fast. We’ve got to get him down. Plain and simple, he’s fast, he can run all day, buy time, especially to the right, he can run 20 yards deep and then throw the ball 40 yards. He’s a great quarterback,” Miller said.
Patrick Mahomes completed 28 of his 45 passing attempts for 304 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for a score. Believe it or not, this was a slow night for him. However, he still managed to get the job done.
He's too talented and has too many offensive weapons. How do you stop Mahomes, Kareem Hunt, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce? No team in the NFL has figured out the answer to this question yet.
Week after week, Mahomes has proved that his his one of the NFL's top candidates for MVP. He's 6-foot-3, mobile, has a big arm, and he's smart. As the season progresses, the Chiefs will only continue to make their case for being the best team in the NFL
