Small stretches aren’t indicative of a player’s long-term evaluation. In 2021, Patrick Mahomes had one of the coldest streaks of his potentially legendary NFL career. That ended in Week 9 when Mahomes shredded the Raiders defense en route to a blowout victory for Kansas City.

In 2021, Patrick Mahomes lost his status as the unanimous pick for the best Quarterback in the NFL. The league is at its best when their star players perform to their talent level and it was a promising sign for football fans that Mahomes found success against one of the most surprising teams in the 2021 NFL season. Patrick Mahomes is the Quarterback no Defensive Coordinator wants to scheme against because of his elite playmaking ability and Sunday was another example with some historic NFL records to show for it.
