Patrick Mahomes Named “AFC Offensive Player of the Week” | The Mothership
Mahomes was named the “AFC Offensive Player of the Week” on Wednesday after completing 22-of-30 passes for 257 yards and four total touchdowns in Sunday night’s victory over the Detroit Lions. Mahomes, who also won the award following his performance in Week 4, has now done so twice in the last three weeks.
The veteran quarterback has thrown for 1,514 yards and 11 touchdowns so far this season while rushing for another 222 yards and four scores. In fact, Mahomes’ 15 total offensive touchdowns are the most of any player in the NFL through Week 6.
This marks Mahomes’ 12th career “Player of the Week” award, and now with a divisional matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on deck, he’ll look to stack another strong performance this upcoming Sunday.

After an 0-2 start, the Kansas City Chiefs (+650) are trending upward very quickly. Kansas City leapfrogged NFC favorite Detroit into second overall in Super Bowl odds thanks to Sunday night’s win over the Lions. Sitting at +1400 after the Week 2 loss to Philadelphia, the Chiefs turned things around over the last month as the rest of the AFC’s elite started to fade.
