Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes torches Jets for 416 yards and 5 touchdowns in Week 8
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 31 of 42 passes for 416 yards and 5 touchdowns in a 35-9 win over the New York Jets in Week 8.
What It Means:
Mahomes and the Chiefs finally returned to their pass-happy ways in Week 8, airing the ball out and routinely burning the Jets for big plays while only running the ball 20 times in a blowout. Mahomes connected with Travis Kelce on 8 of 12 targets for 109 and a score, Mecole Hardman on 7 of 9 targets for 96 yards and a score, and Tyreek Hill on 4 of 6 targets for 98 yards and 2 touchdowns. A week after a quiet game against the Denver Broncos, Mahomes delivered against the Jets and will set his sites on a Week 9 clash with the Carolina Panthers.
Mahomes scored 36.64 FanDuel points in Week 8, the most of any quarterback on Sunday's early slate and 12.94 more than numberFire's projection (23.7). Our models project him for 23.8 FanDuel points against the Panthers in Week 9.
