Patrick Mahomes Leads Undefeated Kansas City Chiefs: Key Stats and Performances
Patrick Mahomes continues to be a pivotal figure in the Kansas City Chiefs‘ undefeated 2024 season. As of Week 7, Mahomes has maintained impressive statistics that highlight his consistent performance. He has a quarterback rating of 84.9, ranking 24th in the league, and a completion percentage of 68.4, which places him 9th among NFL quarterbacks.
In the regular season, Mahomes has completed 127 out of 187 passes for 1389 yards, with 6 touchdowns and 8 interceptions, resulting in a rating of 82.5. Despite these numbers, Mahomes has been instrumental in the Chiefs’ success, particularly in their Week 7 win over the San Francisco 49ers, which kept their undefeated streak alive.
The Chiefs’ undefeated status is also marked by their 13 consecutive game winning streak, the longest active streak in the NFL and a repeat of their streak from the 2019-2020 season. Mahomes’ performance in prime-time games is noteworthy, with 24 wins since entering the NFL, the most by any player during that span.
Looking ahead to their Week 9 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mahomes will face a defense that has struggled with rushing yards, allowing over 130 yards per game. However, the Buccaneers’ offense, led by Baker Mayfield, who has the most touchdown passes in the league with 21, will present a significant challenge despite the absence of key receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
