Mahomes was also efficient in the air, completing 5-of-6 passes for 37 yards.

Despite being pulled from that game in the fourth quarter, Mahomes was a full participant in practice throughout the week, signaling his readiness to compete.
Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate what this means for the Chiefs and their fans. Mahomes’ ability to perform at such a high level, even when not at 100%, is a testament to his skill and determination. It’s no wonder he’s a fan favorite and a key player in the Chiefs’ lineup.
