Patrick Mahomes: The top 15 plays from 2018
By Matt Conner
It’s been such an incredible first year from Patrick Mahomes as a starting quarterback that we needed to document it with the top plays of 2018.
What else can be said about Patrick Mahomes at this point? Plenty of ink (actual and digital) has already been spilled throughout his first full season as a starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, and after he likely walks away with the MVP award, the accolades and affirmations will only echo off of everything previously said.
For us, it wasn’t enough to just describe how incredible it is to watch Mahomes go to work. Sure, we could say he has Brett Favre’s arm or Aaron Rodgers’ big-play ability. We could also mention his athleticism and vision, work ethic and leadership, accuracy and community work. He’s already set plenty of franchise and NFL records and his career is just beginning. Unless there’s an overwhelming wave of sentimentality among voters for Drew Brees’s career without an MVP award, Mahomes should end this season as the most valuable player in his sport.
Instead of just relying on another column trying to encapsulate Mahomes with some words strung together, we thought we’d let the evidence speak for itself. If you’ve somehow been under a proverbial rock or just want to relive the best parts of a very fun year of offensive football, we wanted to count down our favorite moments of Patrick Mahomes’ year so far.
Without any further ado, as C+C Music Factory would say, let’s get this party started. Here are the top 15 plays from Patrick Mahomes in 2018.
