Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are struggling like we've never seen them struggle before during the QB's incredible career. After last Sunday's loss to the Broncos they sit out of the playoff picture at 5-5 and are set to host the red-hot 8-2 Colts this Sunday in a game that is feeling like a must-win situation for the three-time defending AFC champions.
Part of the problem for the Chiefs thus far has been Mahomes's inability to hit on some big plays. That was clear against the Broncos when on the first drive of the game he missed Xavier Worthy on a deep ball that could have gone for a touchdown if he was able to hit his open-wide receiver. If that play went for six points the game might have gone a bit differently for Kansas City. On the same drive Mahomes also missed Tyquan Thornton on a long throw that could have given them a key first down.
