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.

Lions, despite coaching departures, determined to finish what they’ve started
<!--> [--> Carmen Vitali NFL Reporter <!--> --> The Detroit Lions aren’t taking the step back most think they are. Sure, they’ve seen two coordinators and multiple assistants move on and no one is fully immune from that kind of attrition.But the Lions have something under head coach Dan Campbell that can’t and won’t leave the building as long as he’s at the helm: they have belief.They also have a lot more motivation now that they have doubters again.Last year’s early exit from the postseason was already enough to keep the sour taste in the mouths of players and coaches alike. It was enough to chip their shoulders and inspire the defiant spirit that has become so synonymous with this team.Now that they have built-in rivals that were once so familiar, now that the narrative around the league is one of […]

2025 NFL Preview: San Francisco 49ers
Head Coach: Kyle Shanahan (ninth season) PFF projected win total: 10.0 2024 Record: 6-11 (fourth in NFC West) Biggest Strength: Offensive Star Power When healthy — a big caveat of late — the 49ers have as much offensive firepower as any NFL team. Brock Purdy is an above-average starting quarterback. Christian McCaffrey was the best running back in the NFL in 2023. Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall comprise a solid group of young wide receivers. George Kittle is the best tight end in the NFL, and the offensive line is a solid unit headlined by Trent Williams and Dominick Puni. If McCaffrey, Aiyuk and Williams, in particular, are healthy, the 49ers still have a dangerous offensive unit. Biggest Weakness: Defensive Line Beyond Nick Bosa, San Francisco lacks proven defensive line depth. The front office drafted three such players […]
