When we think of Patrick Mahomes, images of jaw-dropping touchdown passes, long-bomb throws, and a legend in the making come to mind-but that magic seems to have dimmed since 2022. In the last two seasons, he hasn’t topped 27 touchdown passes, a far cry from his lowest 16-game season of 37, and last year he didn’t even hit 4,000 passing yards. Still, the Chiefs have reached the Super Bowl in both of these “off” years for Mahomes-years that would be career highs for most quarterbacks-thanks to the stellar work of Steve Spagnuolo and the defense. Now, with a new season on the horizon, Mahomes is determined to shift the focus back to an explosive offense.
Mahomes Vows to Unleash Offense with Revamped Receivers
Patrick Mahomes is brimming with optimism about the Chiefs’ attack heading into 2025, especially after falling short of 4,000 passing yards for the first time in his career in 2024. In a chat with CBS Sports’ Evan Washburn, he laid out his vision, saying the best version of this offense is one that “does it all-stretching the field vertically and horizontally.” He admitted the last couple of years didn’t showcase their full potential, leaning heavily on a defense that’s added more talent.
Mahomes is counting on his receivers to step up, and training camp has shown promise. While it’s not always because of his performance, but also because of the lack of renowned receivers, injuries (like last season), or the poor performance of their offensive line. I’m not saying Mahomes is perfect, but when the team supports him, he finishes as the MVP or in the top 10 in the voting.
Healthy Roster Sets Stage for Mahomes’ Comeback
The Chiefs are laser-focused on fixing their deep-ball struggles from last season, and the wide receivers are driving the charge. New season, new me-after looking human for much of 2024, Mahomes posted his weakest stats yet: 26 touchdown passes, a career-low 6.8 yards per attempt, and a 245.5 yards per game average, with the team ranking 15th in points scored, mirroring 2023.
Injuries hit hard-Rashee Rice was out after Week 4, and Marquise Brown only found his rhythm late, leaving rookie Xavier Worthy as the steady hand. Worthy shone with 157 receiving yards (a Super Bowl rookie record) and tied the NFL rookie mark with 2 touchdowns.
If they stay healthy, this unit could dominate. Mahomes, who once racked up over 5,000 yards and 40 touchdowns twice under Eric Bieniemy to earn MVP honors, has no excuses this year. He’s out to prove he’s still that early-career sharpshooter and silence critics after back-to-back subpar campaigns.

AUSTIN, Texas — Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure preparing the U.S. men's national soccer team for the 2026 World Cup has hardly been a smooth process.Both opportunities to hoist a trophy failed and some of the performances have been downright concerning.

Ja’Marr Chase Questionable for Bengals vs. Packers With Illness
After logging two full practices, Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase's Week 6 status is now in question after the All-Pro missed Friday's session.Chase is listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against the Green Bay Packers due to an undisclosed illness, according Bengals head coach Zac Taylor. While it remains to be seen if Chase takes the field, the 25-year-old WR's status will certainly be worth monitoring entering the weekend. Should he miss the game, Cincinnati won't have the opportunity to see how he meshes with new acquisition, quarterback Joe Flacco.Instead, Flacco, acquired from the Browns on Tuesday, will see his quick transition into Cincy's QB1 as a chance to find chemistry with wideout Tee Higgins, running back Chase Brown and the rest of his new offense.Chase leads the team after five games in receptions and targets (32/45), receiving […]
Tigers vs. Mariners Live Updates, Score: Seattle Strikes First
Conventional wisdom goes that the best two words in sports are "Game 7." But, in this case, "Game 5" will have to suffice. Detroit won Game 1 of the series on the road, but Seattle responded by winning each of the next two games. The Tigers then came to life in Game 4, forcing a Game 5 back in Seattle. The winner of Game 5, which will take place at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, plays the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL Championship Series as the road team. <!-->Here are the top moments from Game 5. --> <!--> [-->8:42p ET Naylor's Baserunning Gives Mariners Lead Live Coverage for this began on 9:05p ET
