Mahomes needs just two touchdown passes this season to tie Manning\u2019s record and three to break it. It\u2019s safe to say Mahomes will break that record this season.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes\u2019 245 regular-season touchdown passes are tied with Dan Marino for the most by any player before turning 30. Mahomes turns 30 on September 17, so he needs to throw just one touchdown pass in either Week 1 or Week 2 to move ahead of Marino and own the record by himself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chiefs face travel chaos in Brazil, as hotel is \u2018hours away\u2019 from stadium | The Sun<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>It will not be smooth sailing for the Chiefs as they will be forced to drive two hours to Arena Corinthians before their game.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast, Kelce said, \u201cI know the stadium\u2019s two hours away from the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThat\u2019ll be a unique experience driving to the game for two hours, the old college football way that we used to drive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were dealt a hand, and we gotta play it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the additional travel, the three-time Super Bowl winner believes that it will provide additional incentive to perform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is what it is,\u201d Kelce continued.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Justin Herbert delivers clear message of respect for Chiefs | A to Z Sports<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>Right before practice in S\u00e3o Paulo on Wednesday, Herbert admitted: The Chiefs are a great team who deserves tons of respect.\u201cThey\u2019re a very good team. We\u2019ve got so much respect for them as opponents,\u201d Herbert said. \u201cThey\u2019ve had so much success in the NFL for years, and it\u2019s a great opportunity for us to go out there and test ourselves. We\u2019ve put in a lot of good work in the offseason and through camp, so we\u2019re just looking forward to going out there and having a great experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To beat the best, the Chargers know they have to be at the top of their own game. Even then, especially after losing left tackle Rashawn Slater to a patellar tendon injury, it\u2019s a hard proposition.<br \/>\n\u201cWe have to be at our best if we\u2019re going to compete with them, and we know how good they are and how well they play,\u201d Herbert added. \u201cFor us, it\u2019s about having a great week of practice, which we\u2019ve done so far, going out there and executing, and doing everything we can on Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I\u2019m seeing from the Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes going deep<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>| The Athletic<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>Though K.C.\u2019s offense did enough to help the team to a 15-1 start [in 2024], Mahomes continued a trend of throwing shorter passes overall, finishing the regular season with 6.3 air yards per attempt \u2014 ranking 25th out of 28 quarterbacks with at least 300 pass attempts, per TruMedia.<\/p>\n<p>This continued a downward shift for Mahomes. His air yards per attempt, starting with his first season as a starter in 2018, have either decreased or remained steady every season of his career.<\/p>\n<p>That trend will change this season. Count on it.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes isn\u2019t just talking about getting the ball deeper downfield on pass attempts \u2014 he\u2019s also having others hold him accountable since organized team activities began in May.<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said he and the QBs have come up with acronyms in the meeting room to remind Mahomes when he\u2019s not testing defenses down the field enough. Though those short messages aren\u2019t public yet (\u201cI\u2019ll leave that internal,\u201d Nagy said Monday with a smile), they still reinforce just how much Mahomes is focused on rewiring his decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>Nagy described it this way: If the Chiefs have a post pattern on a play and another route out to the flat, Mahomes\u2019 goal is to stay true to his progression post-snap. He might not throw it to the deep route but must look there first before advancing to a potential checkdown.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also been evidence that Mahomes is serious about this adjustment. He completed a 58-yard pass to Tyquan Thornton in the third preseason game against Chicago on the exact type of explosive play the Chiefs lacked last season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL analyst makes shocking Chiefs prediction<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>| Newsweek<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>Former New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard Willie Colon said on Fox Sports 1\u2019s \u201cFirst Things First\u201d that their run is ending.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we\u2019re keeping it 100, this team was four points and a blocked field goal away from being 4-13 last season,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cthey\u2019re 11-0 in one-score games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colon said he believes the Chiefs are having an \u201cidentity crisis\u201d as they were previously \u201cextremely dangerous\u201d and \u201cunpredictable\u201d with \u201cexplosive plays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said they were on another level with Patrick Mahomes and his \u201clevel of play,\u201d but he just isn\u2019t seeing that as much recently. Instead, he mentioned they seemed to get lucky more than anything else last season.<\/p>\n<p>He also mentioned the team doesn\u2019t currently have a top receiver due to various off-field issues with Rashee Rice. In addition, Colon said they rely too much on Mahomes these days to make things happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the field right now, it doesn\u2019t look like the Chiefs that we grew to love and fear,\u201d Colon said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re witnessing the end of an era. The Kansas City Chiefs are done,\u201d he told his FS1 costars.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Your Team Sucks 2025: Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>| Defector<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>The Kansas City Chiefs went 15-2 last year and made the Super Bowl. Do not let that distract you: They were f\u2014-ing terrible. They were the luckiest team in the history of football. I am probably not exaggerating! Per the FTN Football Almanac, their overperformance in record relative to wins expected was the biggest since the merger.<\/p>\n<p>But advanced stats cannot even capture just how unbelievably lucky the Chiefs were last season. Including playoffs, 12 of their 17 wins were by one score. They beat the Broncos on a blocked chip-shot field goal. They beat the Ravens because Isaiah Likely\u2019s toe was out of bounds in the end zone. They would\u2019ve lost to Tampa if the Bucs had just gone for a two-point conversion late in regulation. They doinked in a field goal to beat the Chargers.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Mahomes, his own decline accelerated by the team\u2019s collapse around him, has been saved by an absolutely obvious, hilarious attempt by the league to prop him up. Give Mahomes credit: He is a tremendous flopper, a level of commitment to and excellence at the performance that I can only compare him to Rivaldo. The Chiefs could\u2019ve lost to a shitty Houston team in the playoffs had Mahomes not drawn a ridiculous roughing the passer penalty. They could\u2019ve lost to Buffalo in the playoffs had Dalton Kincaid remembered how to catch, or if Josh Allen had been a little better at selling quarterback sneaks. The refs would\u2019ve given that spot to Mahomes, mind you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chiefs headlines for Thursday, September 4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
