The numbers are down across the board, and yet, Mahomes and the Chiefs are grinding out wins at a pace unmatched in the league.<br \/>\nKansas City moved to 6-0 with the impressive win over the 49ers on Sunday and, again, it was not pretty for Mahomes. He was just 16-for-27 passing for 154 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. His 44.4 quarterback rating was the worst single-game rating of his career. His 82.5 quarterback rating this year is the worst of his career.<\/p>\n<p>And yet Mahomes ran for a touchdown, had the Chiefs ahead from the second quarter on and came away with a mostly no-sweat win in a Super Bowl rematch.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12460\" src=\"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/58-2-300x169.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/58-2-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/usdailys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/58-2-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/usdailys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/58-2-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/usdailys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/58-2.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For Mahomes himself, the highlight came on a critical touchdown run with Kansas City ahead, 14-12, early in the fourth quarter. On a fourth-and-goal play from the 1-yard line, after two runs by Kareem Hunt that gained only three yards and an incomplete pass from Mahomes, the QB decided to take matters into his own hands.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes ran it up the middle and put through a back-breaking touchdown. In the process, he bowled over 49ers safety Malik Mustapha, then looked down at him as Mustapha lay on the turf.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12451\" src=\"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/55-4-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/55-4-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usdailys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/55-4-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/usdailys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/55-4-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/usdailys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/55-4.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was a tribute to Mahomes\u2019 toughness, and former Pro Bowl quarterback and analyst Robert Griffin III gave Mahomes his props for the play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatrick Mahomes\u2019 game is SO DISRESPECTFUL.
