The reigning NFL MVP didn’t waste any time getting off to a huge start in 2019.
Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes is taking the league by storm for a second-straight year, and it’s already earned him some hardware.
Mahomes was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September on Thursday following the third-year quarterback’s stellar start to the 2019 campaign. It marks his second-career AFC Offensive Player of the Month award, as he also earned the honor last September.
The 24-year-old Mahomes is tied for the league-lead in touchdown passes (10) and his 1,510 passing yards are the third-most in NFL history through four games. In fact, with 235 more passing yards, Mahomes can break the NFL record for passing yards without an interception to begin a season.
Mahomes also currently leads the NFL in passer rating (120.4), yards-per-attempt (9.68) and throws of 25+ yards (17) through the first four games of the season, leading the Chiefs to victories in every contest.
