Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in football, but his wide receivers haven’t done him any favors during the 2023 season. As former KC star Tyreek Hill rewrites the NFL record books in Miami this season, the Chiefs haven’t had a reliable pass catcher for Mahomes outside of Travis Kelce all year. Kansas City wide outs have been letting down their superstar QB, and never was it more apparent than during a Super Bowl LVII rematch on Monday Night Football.
The Philadelphia Eagles beat Kansas City, 21-17, to cap Week 11 in a game that lived up to the hype. The Chiefs didn’t score in the second half, continuing a troubling trend all season. Mahomes put his team in position to win at the end of the game, but his receivers just couldn’t make a play for him.
The Eagles deployed their signature Tush Push to score the go-ahead touchdown with just over six minutes left. The Chiefs offense had more two chances to respond, but their final drive was defined by a pair of killer drops that ended their comeback attempt on a sad note.
James Harrison and Roger Goodell represent the perfect example of a workplace dynamic going to shit. Employee severely breaks the rules by repeatedly engaging in illegal hits. Bossman lays down the punishment of hefty fines. Leaving the employee to respond with an extremely pointed threat that he would rather let the commissioner burn than take the opportunity to piss on him to put out the flames. And that’s just one of the many menacing remarks. In other words, it’s a sure-fire recipe for beef.
With under two minutes left, Mahomes unleashed a bomb to Marquez Valdes-Scantling that should have been a touchdown … but MVS dropped it. This is a heartbreaking drop:
The Chiefs still had one more chance. Facing a 4th-and-25, Mahomes ripped another laser to wide receiver Justin Watson.
The pass hit him in the hands, but Watson dropped it. Game over:
