I have four quick takeaways from Mahomes’ performance against the Bills:The first is fundamentally simple: The QB was bad and the defense was good. The Bills sniffed out what the Chiefs were planning to do, and they generated 20 pressures ?!?! on 52. 6% of his dropbacks. On the back end, the defensive backs played really good, smart coverage. Shoutout to Bills safety Cole with Mahomes’ numbers looking bad, it’s remarkable that he nearly won this game that Allen looked genuinely stressed on the sideline when Mahomes got the ball after a missed field goal. That’s respect. But that’s also the fear that Mahomes has put into Allen through the ‘s remarkable that the Chiefs can take a loss like this and no one seems to really care. And that’s because their postseason track record particularly against the Bills speaks for itself. The Chiefs just make sure these regularseason defeats don’t end up mattering when the season is over, even if it costs them homefield advantage. Because KC always ends up in the Super finally, Mahomes converted a fourthand17 on what was a really cool and really improbable play. It looked like a fakerollout play that fooled Joey Bosa and allowed Mahomes to throw against the flow of the defense for a huge pickup. How does Andy Reid think of this stuff? It’s just MVP odds: Here comes Matthew Stafford The AthleticThe Josh AllenPatrick Mahomes dance at the top of the MVP odds board took a twirl after the Buffalo Bills beat the odds and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Allen, who spent a few weeks atop the odds board before Mahomes vaulted over him in Week 6, took the lead back with that +160 has an implied nearly 40 percent likelihood of repeating this year at those odds. Mahomes, who was +140 last week to Allen’s +350, is now in second at +350 22 course, following these little flips and flops at the top of the odds is sort of like taking a microscope to the proverbial elephant to figure out what it is and then trying to predict if the elephant is going to win NFL MVP Azizi Hearn Jersey.
