Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs ground out a hard-fought win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. In a game where the Titans' defense stepped up and made life tough, the former MVP was able to do things that not many others could.
The Chiefs trailed 17-9 heading into the fourth quarter but were able to cut the deficit and win the game 20-17 in overtime. With this win, the Chiefs are now 6-2 and are tied with the Buffalo Bills at the top of the AFC.
In the game against the Titans, the Chiefs' running backs weren't able to make an impact. Due to this, Patrick Mahomes threw the ball 68 times, and the NFL world was left stunned by Mahomes' efforts. Here's how social media reacted to Mahomes' historic performance:
Mahomes did play baseball when he was young and his father played in the MLB. Throwing the ball 68 times would have resulted in a decrease in output from other quarterbacks in the league, but Mahomes continuously made big plays. He was excellent in clutch moments and led his team to another win.
