KC Chiefs: Best 2019 single game performance for each position player
PATRICK MAHOMES
- BEST PERFORMANCE: WEEK 2 VS RAIDERS (30 OF 44 FOR 443 YARDS, 4 TD)
- RUNNER-UP: DIVISIONAL ROUND VS TEXANS (23 OF 35 FOR 321 YARDS, 5 TD)
Oh man, it was difficult to pick just two of Patrick Mahomes’ best performances in 2019 because he’s always putting up insane stats. In the end, I went with that crazy week two outing in Oakland because it was just such a weird game. All four touchdowns were scored in the second quarter and while nothing else happened in the second half, the damage had been done.

Mahomes threw for a total of 443 yards and four touchdowns and it looked like he was on his way to a second straight MVP title. Most would have picked him to repeat after that second quarter in the Black Hole – the final time the Chiefs would play there.
For the second best Mahomes game, I went with the Divisional Round against the Texans for a slew of reasons. For one, he threw for five touchdowns and had just 12 incompletions on the day while throwing for 321 yards.
Secondly, that was the legendary 24-0 Texans lead that vanished in the blink of an eye. It was 28-24 Chiefs by half time and Kansas City went on to blow out Houston. Mahomes played a huge part in that happening.
It was tough to pick just two Mahomes performances from 2019, but ultimately – These were his two best of the season.

I know there were a few players I left off, but if they weren’t included than they either didn’t have a big enough game to talk about (guys like Blake Bell or Anthony Sherman) or weren’t in enough games to really qualify (Matt Moore).
What did you think of the games I picked from each of these players? Which would YOU have picked?
