State of the Chiefs Passing Game - Wild Card Weekend
The Chiefs host the Miami Dolphins in what will be one of the coldest games on record.
I’ve been focusing on the highs and lows of the Chiefs passing game the entire season, and at this point, the Chiefs are now starting the playoffs. Hosting the Miami Dolphins for the second time this season but the first time in Kansas City. This game will be frigid, which could strongly affect the passing game of both teams, but let’s look at how things went the last time these two teams faced off. I’ve linked the article about the first game below.
Patrick Mahomes
The Chiefs found a way to win against the Dolphins even with Mahomes struggling much of the day against Miami. On the day, Mahomes threw for only 6.2 yards per attempt, which wasn’t his worst game of the season. That would come two weeks later against the Eagles, where he averaged only 4.1 yards per attempt. Kansas City has found ways to be in games they shouldn’t and lost games they had no business losing, and Mahomes has been both a positive and a negative in those instances.
