Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Overtakes Everyone in 2020 MVP Race

The victory established two standards for the rest of the league. First, the Chiefs are the team to beat in the AFC West. Second, Mahomes leaped to the top of the MVP hierarchy as others began to fade in recent weeks.

At a certain point, greatness fatigue becomes very real.
