Patrick Mahomes perfect on play-action passes in win vs. Dolphins: 'It's opening up a lot'
Mahomes completed all 14 of his play-action attempts for 201 yards, including a touchdown, according to ESPN Research.
The Kansas City Chiefs just keep on rolling, and a big reason why is the incredible play of Patrick Mahomes. His performance against the Dolphins was yet another reminder of his incredible skillset, particularly when it comes to play-action passes. Going a perfect 14-for-14 on play-action attempts is simply unbelievable, and it's clear that this is a key part of the Chiefs' offense.
This is huge for the Chiefs, as it shows that they have a potent weapon to exploit defenses. Play-action passes are often difficult to defend, as they require defenders to commit to stopping the run before quickly reacting to the pass. Mahomes' ability to execute these plays perfectly is a nightmare for opposing teams, and it's clear that he's getting more comfortable in the Chiefs' system. This also speaks to the team's overall strategy, as they're clearly making an effort to utilize Mahomes' strengths.
So what to watch next? The Chiefs' upcoming schedule is packed with tough matchups, including a showdown with the Buffalo Bills. Will Mahomes be able to keep his play-action magic going against a stout Buffalo defense? Can the Chiefs keep their winning streak alive? One thing's for sure - with Mahomes at the helm, the Chiefs are always going to be a threat. Keep an eye on this team as the season heats up, and get ready for some high-powered offense.
