Patrick Mahomes completed 29-of-48 passes for 275 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Chiefs' 20-17, Week 8 win over the Giants Monday night.
Averaging just 5.7 yards per attempt against the Giants defense marked the fourth time Mahomes has failed to top 6.0 yards per attempt in a game this season. The Chiefs moved the ball right down the field on the opening drive only for Mahomes to toss his lone interception, misfiring on an end-zone pass to Josh Gordon that tipped into the air and was picked off in the paint. Mahomes should have easily thrown a couple more picks in this one and just doesn't look right. His one touchdown was a first-quarter, six-yard hookup with Tyreek Hill, who seems to be the only Kansas City pass-catcher capable of making plays right now. After throwing 14 touchdowns Weeks 1-4, Mahomes has just five touchdowns and six picks over the last four weeks. He'll remain a fantasy QB1 next week against the Packers, but things need to turn around quick.
