Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes earns his 11th AFC Player of the Week award | Chiefs Wire
The banner week for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues as he earns another accolade following his Week 4 performance against the Baltimore Ravens. The two-time league MVP was awarded his 11th career Offensive Player of the Week award.
Mahomes completed 25 of 37 pass attempts (67.6 percent) for 270 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions and a 124.8 passer rating in Kansas City’s 37-20 victory over Baltimore. It marked the only four passing touchdown performance in the NFL in Week 4 and the 18th of Mahomes’ career, the most-ever by a player in his first nine seasons.
The latest honor is now the most in Chiefs franchise history and ties Russell Wilson for the fourth-most Player of the Week awards among active quarterbacks, trailing only Aaron Rodgers (19), Josh Allen (16), and Lamar Jackson (13).
Chiefs’ outlook after 4 games: Breakout player, best development and updated odds | The Athletic
Are the Chiefs better or worse than expected through four games?
Worse, though things are trending upward.
Most disappointing is the 2-2 record, though K.C. has faced a difficult schedule. The Chiefs added to the degree of difficulty for this season by losing the opener to the Chargers — which puts their streak of nine consecutive AFC West titles at greater risk.
There’s also this: The Buffalo Bills are undefeated and have a light schedule ahead. They seem to be the overwhelming favorite to land the AFC’s 1 seed, which would make a K.C. playoff path more difficult.
Projections from The Athletic’s Austin Mock — comparing the preseason until now — illustrate the reality of the situation. The Chiefs aren’t as in as good of shape as they were to start the season, both through their own play and some forces outside their control.

Kansas City Chiefs QB
The Ravens’ declining defense was just what he needed to get going. Xavier Worthy’s‘s return also helped. Mahomes has remained his acrobatic self all year, but now he’s finally primed to settle into a big-play passing rhythm. (+7)

32. Kansas City Chiefs OT Josh Simmons: B
Bad, good, bad, good. It’s been a roller coaster so far for the Chiefs’ new left tackle, which isn’t surprising considering the competition. Despite some missteps, this looks like a real solid pick at the end of Round 1.
