Right now, Mahomes' most important stat is that the Chiefs are 5-0. No other NFL team can say that.
I wrote a week or so ago about the intangible factors that a player like Mahomes brings to a team--namely being that unmistakable knowledge and aura that so long as he has a pulse, they can win the game no matter what the situation is.
Mahomes couldn't give a rat's rear end about his QBR. He was asked about his stats and rankings and passing yards constantly at Tech. His response was always the same, "Really? I don't keep up with those. I just want to win football games."
Yesterday he had a wet field and arguably the top defense to deal with along with the pressure of each week's exponentially increasing media hype placed on him.
What did he do?
He led the Chiefs to an unquestionable, inarguable, uncontestable victory.
That's the stat we've been yearning for.
