MNF Postgame - quick thoughts

Andy Reid was out there flexing on them. Middle screens, shovel passes, deep passes, lineman passes. 

Lamar is 0-3 vs Mahomes. 

Chiefs are in the driver's seat for the #1 seed, with a game in hand plus the tiebreaker over the Ravens, and 3-0 in the conference already. 

Chiefs have Pats and Raiders at home. Then tough game at Buffalo. But then...Broncos, Jets, Panthers, bye week. Even if they drop 2 out of the next 3, that's 7-2 at the bye. Plus, Denver, Miami and Atlanta in December. 

By the way, Chiefs just set a franchise record for consecutive wins at 12.

But my favorite moment of the night...

You wouldn't think it would be possible for Mahomes to win Super Bowl MVP and come in to 2020 with a chip on his shoulder, but he was ranked #4 in the NFL Top 100. Lamar got #1. Mahomes was watching that night and tweeting that he was taking note.

On Mahomes' first possession, he ran it in for a TD himself, as if to say you're not the only one who can score that way. Then after his fourth touchdown pass he did this:



After the game he was asked if counting to four was about his NFL Top-100 ranking. "I think I had four touchdowns at that point," he said, with an obvious smile.
