As the Kansas City Chiefs begin their quest for another Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes’ path is anything but smooth. In the first half of the season alone, he’ll go head-to-head with some of the NFL’s most electric quarterbacks in what may become the most thrilling stretch of matchups in recent memory.
From MVPs to rising stars, Mahomes’ opponents read like a highlight reel of quarterback talent-and every game could shift the balance of power in the league.
The most anticipated duel? Week 9 against reigning MVP Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Their rivalry has become must-see TV, a heavyweight fight with postseason intensity.
For years, Allen and Mahomes have traded blows in games defined by late-game heroics, impossible throws, and jaw-dropping comebacks. This season’s chapter is expected to be no different-and could have playoff implications written all over it.
Jackson, Herbert, and Daniels are already lining up
But Allen’s not the only QB set to test the Chiefs’ mettle.
Lamar Jackson, the two-time MVP and arguably the league’s most elusive playmaker, will also make his way to Kansas City. His previous battles with Mahomes have been highlight machines, and with the Ravens reloaded, Jackson’s dual-threat danger looms large.
Justin Herbert, the Los Angeles Chargers’ gunslinger, will face Mahomes twice-as always. Despite being in the same division, every meeting feels like a clash of titans. Herbert’s arm talent and clutch play keep him in the conversation as one of Mahomes’ greatest divisional threats, and he’s still looking to turn those close calls into signature wins.
And then there’s the wild card: Jayden Daniels. The 2023 Heisman winner and breakout rookie for the Washington Commanders has already impressed the league with his blend of speed and pinpoint accuracy. Though new to the NFL, Daniels is no pushover-and his Week 5 face-off with Mahomes could be the beginning of a new generational rivalry.
If you want to be the best you have to face the best
While Mahomes has long dominated headlines, these upcoming duels are about more than just quarterback stats-they’re about legacy. The Chiefs’ schedule is stacked with showdowns that could define the AFC (and maybe the league) for years to come.
One thing’s certain: Mahomes’ greatness will be tested. And fans? They’re in for a front-row seat to a quarterback clash for the ages.

Jerry Jones Selling Cowboys as Better Without Micah Parsons, But No One’s Buying It
<!--> [--> Ralph Vacchiano NFL Reporter <!--> --> Earlier this week, when rumors started flying that Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys might be headed for a divorce, nobody around the NFL seemed to believe it would actually happen."C’mon," one NFL executive texted me that night, "even Jerry Jones isn’t that crazy."Well …In a stunning, head-scratching, and NFC-rocking moment, the 82-year-old Jones showed just how crazy he is, shipping off his best defensive player to the conference-rival Green Bay Packers in exchange for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. And then, with a straight face and his fingers not crossed behind his back, he actually said he did it because he believes it gives the Cowboys "a better chance to be a better team" right now than they’ve been with Parsons — especially if they manage to reach […]
