Surprisingly quiet in rout
Mahomes completed 15 of 29 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown while adding 25 yards and a TD on three carries in Sunday's 40-9 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: On a windy day at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs did most of their damage on the ground with three rushing touchdowns, including Mahomes' 13-yard scamper. The quarterback has now shockingly failed to top 200 passing yards in three of his last four games, although there were extenuating circumstances for each poor performance, and they are sandwiched around a 446-yard, three-TD eruption against the Titans. Mahomes may not be able to afford another quiet outing in Week 14's road clash with the…read more

Struggles through the air
Mahomes completed 19 of 32 passes for 182 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Monday night's 24-17 win over the Chargers. He also rushed five times for 59 yards.
Analysis: Mahomes had a pretty tame performance by his otherworldly standards, with his 63 first-half passing yards marking a career low. He was also picked off prior to halftime, now giving him two interceptions on the season. Fortunately, he responded in the second half with a 23-yard touchdown to Travis Kelce, and his output on the ground actually marked his personal best to date. Although he's clearly over his recent knee injury and now has the bye week to rest further, Mahomes saw top wideout Tyreek…read more

Opens week with full practice
Mahomes (kneecap) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Mahomes was as productive as ever after returning from a two-game absence due to a dislocated right kneecap in last weekend's 35-32 loss to the Titans, completing 36 of 50 attempts for 446 yards and three touchdowns. Perhaps most encouragingly, Mahomes told Adam Teicher of ESPN.com that he felt great physically coming out of the contest, a sentiment supported by the quarterback's ability to take every rep during the first practice of Week 11. With the injury behind him, Mahomes will look to…read more

Stellar in return
Mahomes completed 36 of 50 attempts for 446 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 35-32 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Mahomes cut through a stout Titans defense during Sunday's back-and-forth affair, his first since injuring his knee in Week 7 against Denver. The talented passer extended Kansas City's lead to two scores early in the fourth quarter, going airborne within the pocket while delivering a strike to rookie Mecole Hardman for a 63-yard touchdown. Even after the Titans pulled off the improbable comeback, Mahomes responded with a 23-yard completion to Demarcus Robinson to help set up what would have…read more

Good to go Sunday
As expected, Mahomes (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Chiefs proceeded with extreme caution with their star QB and had "four different specialists from across the country examine" images of Mahomes' knee. It was determined that the signal-caller was ready to play and that enough time had elapsed to minimize his chances of a setback. Mahomes' return to the lineup should provide a nice boost going forward for the fantasy prospects of Kansas City's top receiving weapons -- Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Sammy…read more

Doesn't expect to be limited
Mahomes (kneecap), who doesn't carry a Week 10 injury designation after practicing fully all week, feels like he won't be limited physically in his slated return to the lineup Sunday against the Titans, ESPN's Adam Teicher reports. "That's what we tested out this week especially," Mahomes noted Friday. "We put me on the run, and I threw it across my body and did all the stuff I've grown to do as I've been in the NFL and my whole career. I didn't have any pain. I was still able to do it. I wanted to make sure I was able to do that before I got back on that field."
Analysis: Mahomes hasn't suited up up since dislocating his right kneecap Oct. 17, but he's slated to start Sunday's contest, barring any unexpected setbacks, which will send Matt Moore -- who had been filling in at QB for the Chiefs -- back to a reserve role. Additionally, the return of Mahomes should boost the Week 10 (and beyond) fantasy prospects of key receiving weapons Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins.

Slated to start Sunday
Mahomes (knee) is on track to start Sunday's game against the Titans, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Andy Reid noted Friday that Mahomes -- who practiced fully this week -- will return to action Sunday "unless something happens" between now and game time. With that in mind, we'd still recommend monitoring the situation, but as things stand, Mahomes -- who suffered a dislocated right kneecap Oct. 17 -- will be back in action this weekend.

Continues to practice fully
Mahomes (kneecap) was listed as a full practice participant once again Thursday.
Analysis: That's the second straight day he's been listed as a full participant, but it's worth noting that Adam Teicher of ESPN.com previously relayed that Mahomes was again second in the QB line behind Matt Moore during Thursday's individual drills. We'll revisit Mahomes' status Friday to see how the Chiefs officially list him for Sunday's game against the Titans, but even though he's been deemed a full practice participant so far this week, the QB's Week 10 status has yet to be clarified by the team.…read more

Mahomes (kneecap) was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: That's a major step forward for the quarterback, but Adam Teicher of ESPN.com noted earlier in the day that Mahomes was "still second in the QB line behind Matt Moore" during individual drills at practice Wednesday. At this stage, the Chiefs plan to increase Mahomes' workload this week and see how his knee responds, per Teicher.

Week 10 status TBD
Though Mahomes (knee) is trending in the right direction, the Chiefs will continue to proceed deliberately this week while they assess the QB's chances of returning to action Week 10, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: There's an obvious downside to rushing the star QB back to action, so if there's any concerns that he's not quite ready, or might be more susceptible to a setback should he return in haste, it wouldn't surprise us to see the team err on the side of caution. Additionally, Matt Moore's solid play in relief of Mahomes makes such an approach even more feasible. We should get a better idea of Mahomes' odds of returning this weekend once it's revealed who takes first-team QB reps at practice…read more

Siding with caution
The Chiefs were told by outside doctors that Mahomes (kneecap) would have a 40 percent chance of reinjuring himself if he resumed playing within 21 days of his injury, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Sunday marks the 17th day since Mahomes suffered the injury, which likely factored into the Chiefs' decision to make him inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Matt Moore will pick up another start in Mahomes' stead, but the star quarterback could be ready to go Week 10 versus the Titans. Glazer notes that the chances of Mahomes re-dislocating the kneecap diminish to 10-to-15 percent after 21 days.

Won't play Sunday
Mahomes (kneecap) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: With Mahomes inactive Sunday, Matt Moore will draw another start at QB for the Chiefs, while Chad Henne (ankle) is slated to serve as his backup. On the plus side, Mahomes has progressed to the point where it looks like he has a realistic chance to return to action in Week 10 against the Titans.

Not expected to play Week 9
Mahomes (kneecap), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, isn't expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Though Mahomes is progressing much faster than anticipated from his dislocated right kneecap, returning from the injury was always going to be a tough ask. With Mahomes in line to be included among the Chiefs' seven inactives Sunday, Matt Moore will garner another start. Downgrade Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and the rest of the Chiefs' skill players accordingly.

Could play in Week 9
Mahomes (knee) has a "chance to play" Sunday against the Vikings, Ed Werder of ESPN reports.
Analysis: This appears to counter an earlier report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network which suggested the star quarterback was unlikely to play Sunday, although both sources emphasized Mahomes' status will depend on how well he's able to move prior to the 1 p.m. EST kickoff. Matt Moore and newly activated Chad Henne (ankle) will be available in the event that Mahomes, who dislocated his right knee cap Oct. 17, is eventually ruled out.

Not expected to start
Mahomes (knee) is not expected to start Sunday against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Mahomes is expected to work out on the field prior to the game, but it seems unlikely the electric third-year quarterback will play Sunday, reinforced by the fact the Chiefs activated Chad Henne (ankle) from injured reserve with the intent to back up Matt Moore. While the initial timeline following Mahomes' injury waffled anywhere from two-to-five weeks of absence, it certainly appears as if the 2018 MVP is not expected to be out for a lengthy amount of time given Saturday's news.

Listed as questionable for Week 9
Mahomes (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings after practicing in a limited fashion all week.
Analysis: At this stage, there hasn't been much of an indication from coach Andy Reid whether Mahomes is truly questionable or closer to doubtful, but the reigning MVP evidently has a shot to defy the odds and suit up this weekend. Look for plenty of coverage pertaining to his status leading up to game time, which fortunately arrives at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. In the event Mahomes is sidelined for a second straight contest, Matt Moore would garner another start.

Remains limited at practice
Mahomes (knee) remained limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, Mahomes "again was second in the QB line behind Matt Moore" on Thursday. That he's out there at all is very encouraging, but we'd still be surprised if Mahomes is cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Vikings. Friday's injury report should provide clarity on that front.

'Realistic shot to play' Week 10
While Mahomes (kneecap) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, the Chiefs have been pleased with his progress and believe he has a "very realistic shot to play" in the team's Week 10 game against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Mahomes resumed practicing just six days after suffering a dislocated kneecap, an injury that was initially expected to carry a recovery timeline of 3-to-4 weeks. Based on how Mahomes has looked so far in practice, the Chiefs believe he'll be ready to return a few days before the short end of that timeline, and the star quarterback even has an "outside chance" of making it back as soon as next weekend against the Vikings. Matt Moore will step in as the starting quarterback Week 8 and is likely…read more

Analysis: Mahomes, who suffered a dislocated kneecap Oct. 17, was originally expected to miss at least three weeks, but favorable MRI results were followed by his limited participation at practice this week, offering hope that he could beat that timetable. With regard to this weekend's game, Reid noted that Mahomes "just wasn't ready right now. That was our decision, not his. He wanted to play right after it happened.

Analysis: Mahomes made a valiant effort this week, returning to practice in a limited capacity. He even "was moving around better" during individual drills Thursday, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com.

Analysis: Mahomes -- who worked behind Matt Moore on Thursday -- is destined to be listed by the team as a limited practice participant. While his progress since dislocating the patella in his right knee this past Thursday has been highly encouraging, we'd still be very surprised if he suited up for Sunday night's game against the Packers.

No timetable provided by Reid
Coach Andy Reid acknowledged Monday that it would be a "stretch'' for Mahomes to play Sunday against the Packers, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports. "I don't think you put a timeline on this thing," Reid noted of the status of Mahomes, who dislocated the patella in his right knee this past Thursday. "You go off how he feels and what the doctors say and go with it. I don't think there's a set time, though. I know people want a time, but I don't think you can do that with this injury."
Analysis: Though Reid won't commit to a timetable for Mahomes' recovery, we'll continue to operate under the assumption that the QB will miss time, with a return to action Week 11 still looking like a plausible best-case scenario. While Mahomes missing any action at all is bad news for both the Chiefs and his fantasy managers, trainer Rick Burkholder encouragingly noted that the signal-caller's MRI "turned out as good as we could possibly imagine.''

Meanwhile, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggested that Mahomes' timeline has been estimated at around 3-to-5 weeks, with the signal-caller expected back no later than the Dec. 1 game against the Raiders.

Differing opinions on timeline
While Ian Rapoport of NFL Network indicates that Mahomes (knee) is slated to be out three-to-five weeks, ESPN's Adam Schefter suggests that the QB "could return in three weeks, if not sooner."
Analysis: The common thread here is that Mahomes -- who suffered a dislocated kneecap Thursday night -- will miss time. The Chiefs' Week 11 Monday night game (Nov. 18) still represents the most plausible best-case scenario for his return to action, given that Schefter also relays that the team is "expected to exercise extreme caution with Mahomes, and the time off will allow him to rest" both his knee and an ankle issue that the QB had been working through.

The MRI that Mahomes underwent confirmed that he suffered a dislocated right kneecap in Thursday's 30-6 win over the Broncos, though he avoided "significant additional damage," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per the report, the star quarterback will seek added opinions to be sure, but the plan is for Mahomes "to return this season after a brief absence." The team should pass down an estimated timeline for Mahomes' return in the near future, but it looks like the Chiefs will need to rely on Matt Moore for at least the next few weeks while the reigning MVP is on the mend.

Expected to miss time
Mahomes, who suffered a right patellar dislocation in Thursday's 30-6 win over the Broncos, is looking at a recovery timeline of approximately three weeks in a best-case scenario, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: A precise timeline for the star quarterback's return to action will be speculative until the results of his MRI are available, with the length of his likely absence largely hinging on whether or not he suffered any ligament damage. In any case, it looks as though veteran signal-caller Matt Moore will be leading the Chiefs offense for a spell, beginning with the team's Oct. 27 tilt against the Packers.

Posts another 300-plus yard game
Mahomes completed 22 of 39 pass attempts for 321 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The Colts absolutely dominated the time of possession game (37:15 to 22:45), so the fact that Mahomes eclipsed the 300-yard mark for the fifth consecutive week is a testament to his gun-slinging abilities (14.6 yards per completion). The star quarterback's recent lack of touchdowns (1:0 TD:INT ratio over the last two games) is really the only criticism that can be made in what is shaping up to be another MVP-caliber season.

Analysis: The Lions were a play away from capping off the upset in the final moments of Sunday's game when, facing 4th-and-8, Mahomes drifted back, found a lane, and scooted upfield for a gain of 15, setting up the game-winning touchdown. Playing a Detroit defense that has frustrated a Pro Bowl's worth of quarterbacks already this season, Mahomes wasn't playing pitch and catch as he typically does and was held without a touchdown for the first time since Week 5 of last season. Sunday showed that Mahomes…read more

Lights up Baltimore
Mahomes completed 27 of 37 passes for 374 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 33-28 win over the Ravens. He fumbled once in the contest, but it was recovered.
Analysis: Mahomes enjoyed another terrific second quarter Sunday, dropping off a 18-yard touchdown to Demarcus Robinson and then following up with an 83-yard seed to Mecole Hardman. Mahomes had topped 1,000 yards passing for the season by halftime and is on pace for a jaw-dropping 6,373 yards to go along with 53 scores for the season, with no signs of letting up. Next up is a hot Lions team that has tempered talented passers Phillip Rivers and Carson Wentz in back-to-back weeks.

Tops 400 yards in win
Mahomes completed 30 of 44 passes for 443 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 28-10 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: No Tyreek Hill (collarbone), no problem for Mahomes, who fired all of his TD strikes in a huge second quarter, hitting Demarcus Robinson on trips to the end zone twice and Travis Kelce and rookie Mecole Hardman once each during the barrage. All four scores went for 27 yards or longer, but the Kansas City offense was uncharacteristically quiet the rest of the game. Mahomes will need to stay sharp in Week 3 when the Chiefs host Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

Practices fully
Mahomes (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Mahomes tweaked his ankle in Week 1's win over the Jaguars, but he'll be fine for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Though Mahomes won't have Tyreek Hill to throw for a few weeks, the QB still has a pretty solid pass-catching corps to work with in the meantime, with Hill's absence presenting a prime opportunity for rookie Mecole Hardman to make a splash.

Planning for usual practice load
Mahomes indicated that his ankle is feeling better with each passing day and said he plans to take his normal allotment of practice reps Wednesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It remains to be seen if Mahomes will be listed as a full or limited practice participant Wednesday on the Chiefs' official report, but there's nothing to suggest that the quarterback's availability for Sunday's game against the Raiders is any danger.

Practicing Wednesday
Mahomes (ankle) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Mahomes suffered an ankle sprain during the first half of Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but he played through the issue without missing a snap en route to amassing 378 yards and three touchdowns through the air. All signs point to Mahomes suiting up this weekend against the Raiders, though it's still worth keeping an eye on his activity in practice over the next two days.

Picks up ankle sprain
Coach Andy Reid said Mahomes sustained a sprained ankle during Sunday's 40-26 win at Jacksonville, Terez A. Paylor of Yahoo Sports reports.
Analysis: Mahomes had his left ankle turn awkwardly under the weight of a Jags defender in the first half, limping to the sideline and getting it taped in the sideline tent. He didn't miss a snap and proceeded to put up a prototypical 378 yards and three touchdowns on 25-for-33 passing. Because he was able to play through the pain, Mahomes seems to be fine moving forward, but his status nonetheless will be one to watch in the coming days.

Roasts Jags on bum ankle
Mahomes (ankle) completed 25 of 33 passes for 378 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 40-26 win over the Jaguars. He had his left foot and ankle taped after apparently rolling it during the contest Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports. Mahomes returned to the game, but gave way to backup Matt Moore with the game in hand late.
Analysis: Mahomes and the Chiefs continued their frantic 2018 pace to start the 2019 season despite what was supposed to be a difficult matchup at Jacksonville. Kansas City's one and only punt didn't transpire until the fourth quarter, as Mahomes slung it around, hitting on a few big catch-and-runs to Sammy Watkins early. The talented junior passer was helped off the field in the second quarter with a left lower leg injury, but he was healthy enough to return to the game and throw another touchdown to…read more

Sharp in two drives of work
Mahomes completed eight of 10 pass attempts for 126 yards and one touchdown, absorbing zero sacks and rushing for eight yards on his only carry during Saturday's 27-17 preseason loss to San Francisco.
Analysis: Mahomes connected with Damien Williams for a 62-yard pitch, catch and run that resulted in a touchdown on Kansas City's third play from scrimmage. Then on his second and final drive of the night, he proceeded to lead the offense on a 12-play, 68-yard march that culminated in a field goal. The reigning MVP seems poised for another statistically prolific campaign, last year having joined Tom Brady and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to throw 50 touchdown passes in a season.…read more

Limited action in preseason loss
Mahomes completed two of five passes for 11 yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Chiefs' 17-7 preseason loss to the Steelers on Saturday.
Analysis: There'd been pregame speculation that Mahomes could play until halftime, but that wasn't anywhere close to what came to pass. The Pro Bowl signal-caller ended up logging just two series and connected with his two most important pass catchers, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, for his pair of completions. Mahomes could end up seeing the extended playing time that was expected when Kansas City faces off with the 49ers in their third preseason contest Saturday.

Could play nearly one half Saturday
Mahomes may play most of the first half of Saturday's preseason contest at Pittsburgh, Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per coach Andy Reid, Mahomes may remain on the field for about one half "or somewhere thereabouts," which isn't exactly revealing of the QB's precise amount of playing time. Still, it seems as if Mahomes will get more than the one possession he directed in the Chiefs' exhibition opener. On that single drive, he completed all four passes for 66 yards en route to a Carlos Hyde one-yard TD run.

Perfect in preseason debut
Mahomes completed all four of his pass attempts for 66 yards in the team's first preseason contest Saturday against the Bengals.
Analysis: Mahomes played only one offensive possession but quickly highlighted his big-play ability as part of the offensive unit. He connected with Travis Kelce for a 36-yard gain on the first play of the game and also completed passes to Sammy Watkins, Blake Bell and Anthony Sherman. Though it was a short appearance, Mahomes showcased the efficiency that made him the top fantasy quarterback in 2018.

Will head QB rotation Saturday
Mahomes is slated to start Saturday night's preseason opener against the Bengals, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per coach Andy Reid, the team's QB rotation for the contest will mimic the rotation that's been used during training camp. Mahomes will therefore be followed by Chad Henne, Kyle Shurmur and Chase Litton. It remains to be seen how much action Mahomes sees Saturday, but we suspect it won't be extensive.

Working on footwork
Mahomes has been working to improve his footwork in the pocket this offseason, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Mahomes has a big enough arm to help mask any footwork issues he experiences, but growth in that area could help him raise an already impressive 66 completion percentage in his first year under center. He may have to adjust to life without one of his biggest weapons from 2018, however, as Tyreek Hill remains suspended indefinitely from team by the Chiefs. Perhaps in preparation for Hill's suspension carrying over into the regular season, Mahomes has been working on developing more chemistry…read more

Throws three touchdown passes
Mahomes completed 16 of 31 pass attempts for 295 yards and three touchdowns Sunday against the Patriots. He also carried two times for 11 yards in the 37-31 AFC Championship Game overtime loss.
Analysis: Mahomes struggled at times, posting a completion rate of just 52 percent as his team went scoreless into halftime. He hit several big plays in the second half, adding touchdown passes to Travis Kelce and Damien Williams (two) as he brought his team all the way back to force overtime. It was an improved performance over Mahomes' playoff debut a week ago, but unfortunately, his outstanding season comes to an end with this defeat. He lit the league up for 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns during the…read more

Uses his wheels to score
Mahomes connected on 27 or 41 passes for 278 yards during Saturday's 31-13 win over the Colts. He added eight yards and a touchdown on three carries.
Analysis: The numbers weren't as mind-meltingly insane as some others Mahomes put up during this season's MVP campaign, but several of the throws were as the sophomore passer seemed to break the will of the Colts at times with a handful of truly ridiculous passes from a variety of arm angles. When it came to actually getting in on some of the scoring fun, Mahomes did his damage with his legs, rolling out, pumping, and diving for the corner of the end zone for a four-yard score just before halftime.

Joins elite company
Mahomes completed 14 of 24 pass attempts for 281 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 35-3 win over Oakland.
Analysis: It wasn't Mahomes' biggest fantasy performance, but that was largely due to the Raiders' inability to keep the game close. The MVP candidate reached the 5,000-yard and 50-touchdown mark with an 89-yard bomb to Demarcus Robinson in the third quarter, joining Peyton Manning as the only other QB to reach those marks in a single season. The win secured the Chiefs with a first-round bye in the playoffs, so Mahomes will become DFS-eligible in the divisional series.

Tosses three scores
Mahomes completed 23 of his 40 pass attempts for 273 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Seahawks. He also added three carries for 33 yards.
Analysis: Mahomes wasn't particularly efficient as he averaged only 6.8 yards per attempt, but still put up a strong performance on the strength of his three scores. He added to his list of highlight reel touchdowns when he found Charcandrick West on the run midway through the third quarter for a 25-yard touchdown. He also chipped in 33 rushing yards -- his third-highest total of the season -- and is now approaching 300 yards on the ground for the season. With the AFC West still up for grabs, Mahomes…read more

Solid but unspectacular in loss
Mahomes completed 24 of 34 passes for 243 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Chiefs' 29-28 loss to the Chargers on Thursday. He also rushed twice for three yards and fumbled once, but it was recovered by the offense.
Analysis: Mahomes turned in another solid and clean stat line, and his night could have been much bigger had Tyreek Hill not had a perfectly thrown deep ball bounce off his facemask on a play where he was also guilty of an illegal shift. The second-year gunslinger did manage to extend his multi-touchdown streak to nine games, and he's now completed over 70 percent of his passes in six of his last eight contest. Mahomes also managed to make his initial connection with new arrival Kelvin Benjamin, and he…read more

Another monster game in OT win
Mahomes completed 35 of 53 attempts for 377 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 27-24 win against the Ravens.
Analysis: Trotting onto the field facing a touchdown deficit with 4:04 remaining in regulation against the Ravens, Mahomes was entrusted with a golden opportunity to further bolster his sterling MVP resume. With help from a miraculous cross-field throw to Tyreek HIll that yielded 48 yards, Mahomes led his team downfield to tie the score at 24 late in the fourth quarter, as the Chiefs eventually prevailed over Baltimore with an overtime field goal.

Four passing TDs in win at Oakland
Mahomes completed 23 of 38 passes for 295 yards and four touchdowns, adding nine rushes for 52 yards during Sunday's 40-33 win against the Raiders.
Analysis: The second-year quarterback continues to play an ungodly level, with 853 offensive yards and 10 touchdowns over Kansas City's past two games following a slight hiccup in Week 10 (career-low 249 passing yards against Arizona). Peyton Manning's all-time single-season mark of 55 touchdown passes remains within reach, as Mahomes finds himself on pace for 54.7 with games remaining against the Ravens (top-10 against the pass), Chargers (top-10), Seahawks (13th) and Raiders (14th).

Has six scores, five turnovers in loss
Mahomes completed 33 of 46 passes for 478 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions in Monday night's 54-51 loss to the Rams. He also rushed six times for 28 yards and lost two fumbles.
Analysis: Mahomes reveled in Monday's shootout atmosphere, setting a new career high in passing yards while tossing six touchdowns for the second time this season. Although those exploits allowed Kansas City to flirt with victory, Mahomes' turnovers ultimately proved costly, as he had a second-quarter fumble and a third-quarter interception both returned for touchdowns. Then, with the Chiefs needing him to muster some magic late, he threw picks on the team's final two offensive possessions. Overall, the…read more

Mahomes (foot) appears on the Chiefs' Week 11 injury report, but he practiced fully Thursday, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.
Analysis: There's little doubt that Mahomes will be available for Monday night's game against the Rams, but his presence on his team's injury report is not entirely surprising, on the heels of absorbing five sacks versus the Cardinals in Week 10. Given that the Chiefs and Rams are the NFL's second and third-highest scoring teams to date, there's shootout potential in a compelling Monday Night Football matchup featuring two 9-1 teams.

Mahomes completed 21 of 28 passes for 249 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Chiefs' 26-14 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 21 yards.
Analysis: Mahomes got knocked around a bit more than usual, taking five sacks and seven official hits overall. He was also playing without the benefit of his No. 2 receiver in Sammy Watkins (foot), but Mahomes still found a way to play a mistake-free game despite the adversity, snapping an unsightly five-game interception streak in the process.

Analysis: Facing off against one of the higher-ranked pass defenses in the league, Mahomes set a career high in passing yards and got things going in the middle of the first quarter with a 50-yard dump-off to Kareem Hunt for the game's first score. Mahomes has now thrown for 300 or more yards in eight consecutive games -- one away from Drew Brees' record -- and has tossed three or more touchdowns in six of those games.
