Mahomes’ numbers are among the lowest in the league in several categories.
The NFL as a whole should be concerned after seeing Patrick Mahomes’ stats over the first five weeks of the season.
The quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs has guided his squad to a 5-0 start in the 2024 season.

However, Mahomes and the offense haven’t looked great to start the year.
The 29-year-old’s offensive injury issues have been many.
Mahomes started Week 6 with 1,235 passing yards, good for 22nd place.
In addition to his six touchdowns, he also had six interceptions.
Moreover, the MVP quarterback’s QBR rating of 55.8 only placed him 16th overall.
Mahomes has led the Chiefs to five straight victories despite his personal difficulties.
The way Kansas City continues to win astounds NFL fans, who wonder “how do they keep winning?”
For the NFL as a whole, it’s a concerning indication as the Chiefs strive for history.
The goal of Kansas City is to make history by being the first club to win three straight Super Bowls.
Social media users got into a heated argument over whether Mahomes should win MVP for his performance.
Just before the Kansas City Royals lose, Patrick Mahomes bumps into a Yankees rival fan and screams in his face.
“If he wins MVP the voting is absolutely rubbish,” someone added.
“He shouldn’t even be touching MVP right now,” said a different post.
Some supporters, however, disagreed, arguing that despite the numbers, he was demonstrating his genuine worth.
“If Mahomes wasn’t on the Chiefs they’d probably be 0-5,” someone said.
“Pretty much the definition of Most Valuable Player.”
Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, a wide receiver signed as a free agency, was lost to Mahomes.
He also witnessed the Week 4 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers result in a knee injury to electric sophomore receiver Rashee Rice.
Isiah Pacheco, a running back, has also been placed on injured reserve by Kansas City.
Despite a difficult start to the season, top tight end Travis Kelce has failed to find the end zone.
With 16 receptions for 159 yards over the past two weeks, the 35-year-old has flashed glimpses of his former self.
The Chiefs have a bye in Week 6 before playing the 49ers in San Francisco in a rematch of the Super Bowl this season.
