All the games this season except for one have come down to the last possession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes actually has been putting up pretty solid numbers this season, although he\u2019s been\u00a0without one of his favorite targets\u00a0\u2013 wide receiver Rashee Rice \u2013 for a good chunk of the season.\u00a0Rice underwent knee surgery\u00a0in early October and won\u2019t play Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Through five games, Mahomes is completing passes at a career-high rate of 69.4 percent but has thrown only six touchdowns with six interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>At his current pace, Mahomes will finish with 4,199 yards \u2013 more than he had last season but the third-lowest mark of his career since becoming the Chiefs\u2019 full-time starter in 2018. Being without Rice has robbed the Chiefs of one of the top play-makers and forced Mahomes to spread the ball around more. In last week\u2019s 26-13 win over the New Orleans Saints, the Kansas City QB completed passes to eight different receivers, matching his season-high.<\/p>\n<p>However, Andy Reid\u2019s team appears more vulnerable this season than it has in the past. Kansas City isn\u2019t running the ball as well as it had been and has had uneven luck in the red zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SANTA CLARA \u2013 Despite leading an undefeated team that is aiming for its\u00a0third consecutive Super Bowl victory, there are whispers around the NFL that\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs quarterback&#8230;
