KC Warpaint 3,251 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 With another 54 receiving yards on Sunday, Kelce will set an all-time single-season NFL record for receiving yards by a tight end, eclipsing the 1,327 yards gained by New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski in 2011. But Kelce isn’t the only one who can set records on Sunday. With 74 yards on Sunday night, wide receiver Tyreek Hill now has 1,378 yards on the season. With just 14 yards on Sunday against the Raiders, Hill will set a new Chiefs record for single-season receiving yards, breaking the previous record of 1,391 set by Derrick Alexander in 2000. Short of being inactive for the game. it’s hard to imagine Hill will finish the season without breaking Alexander’s record. But consider this: if Kelce gets at least 118 yards on Sunday — which he’s done twice this season, and five times in his career — Hill and Kelce will have first and second-most single-season receiving yards in franchise history... in the same season. You’ve probably already heard that with 5100 passing yards in 16 career games, Patrick Mahomes is the only player in NFL history to reach the 5000-yard mark in so few games. With 273 yards last Sunday, Mahomes has already surpassed Trent Green’s previous franchise single-season record of 4,591 set in 2004. Now with 4,816 yards on the season, Mahomes needs just 184 yards against Oakland this Sunday to be only the sixth player to pass for more than 5,000 yards in a single season. He would be the youngest player to achieve the feat since Dan Marino in 1984. With at least two touchdown passes against the Raiders, Mahomes will have at least 50 on the season. He would be only the third player — behind Peyton Manning and Tom Brady — to throw 50 in a single season, and would be by far the youngest ever. Brady was 30 when he did it in 2007, and Manning was 37 when he achieved the feat in 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Im heard the guy from Football Outsiders say the DVOA numbers through week 12 suggested the Chiefs belonged as clear AFC favorites because not only was our offense the best in the league, it was the best in the league by one of the widest margins since they started running these numbers. Makes sense there's a good chance the record books would reflect that even as injuries and the Hunt deal have clearly slowed us down the last month.

Balto 723 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Wonder what the DVOA looks like now since week 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really still not even close as most of the other top offenses are dealing with injuries and drop off as well. Of course we are still averaging 32 PPG the last month without Hunt, Watkins, both starting guards and with a gimpy Tyreek. Pretty amazing. Meanwhile the defense is healthy and seemingly getting worse. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamoff2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
