Patrick Mahomes was set up after a slow September to take things up a notch and get the perennial AFC leaders on track. However, against an opponent the team has historically not had much trouble against, the Kansas City Chiefs ran out of gas, blowing a 14-point lead to lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5.On the precipice of Week 6, the quarterback was asked about his status as the team's leading rusher. Mahomes first said that he was fine with it, but then appeared to hint at a desire for more from his running backs in a clip posted on X on Wednesday by Sports Radio 810."However we win football games, I don't care how that looks, but it doesn't look like that's helping us right now."Heading into the Week 6 primetime tilt against the Detroit Lions, the quarterback has 190 yards on the ground, outpacing running backs Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt. Of course, the style of offense is as much to blame as the running backs themselves.The Chiefs are currently running an unapologetically clear running back by committee. Hunt and Pacheco are just four carries apart, with Hunt technically leading the way. Hunt has 164 yards while Pacheco has 163 yards. Had Andy Reid elected to give the majority of carries to Hunt or Pacheco this season, this most likely would not have been a concern for reporters.Instead of pointing this out, Mahomes appeared to back into using it as a call to action, seemingly siding against his backs. He also might not have been aware of his running back split in the moment, but that would betray something far worse about his preparation process.Patrick Mahomes in danger of falling to worst career record everPatrick Mahomes at Baltimore Ravens v Kansas City Chiefs - NFL 2025 - Source: GettyAfter succumbing to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Patrick Mahomes is 2-3, tied for his worst career record at one under .500.
