Though Patrick Mahomes had a two-interception first half (one was deflected off the hands of Travis Kelce), he didn’t hurt his odds of winning MVP, thanks to the dominant second half.
Mahomes, who entered the season as the sportsbook favorite for the award ahead of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, was spectacular in the final 30 minutes, displaying his full arsenal of passes and runs while showing off for a nationally TV audience.
Mahomes completed 25 of 34 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns with his two interceptions. He and the Chiefs travel to face Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
