4. Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes may have had one of the worst games of his career against the Broncos, though his stat line may not show it. Mahomes finished his day completing 66% of his passes (28/42) for 266 yards and one touchdown.

Despite his numbers, Mahomes had uncharacteristic missed passes in the fourth quarter. His first one came on a deep ball to Xavier Worthy that would have been a touchdown if he didn't airmail the ball out of bounds.

Mahomes' other miss was to Travis Kelce in the back of the endzone. The number of times that has happened in those two's time together can be counted on one hand.

Mahomes' two costly misses were the reason the Broncos even had a chance to walk the game off with a field goal. Either score would have put the Chiefs up by at least six points, meaning the Broncos would have needed a touchdown to win.

A performance like this is likely to never happen again given Mahomes' drive to be the best. Expect Mahomes to hone in on having pinpoint accuracy against the Bills.

While the Bills games are always competitive, if Mahomes has pinpoint precision on passes, the Bills stand no shot at stopping the Chiefs offense.
