NFL Week 1 - To nobody's surprise, Patrick Mahomes was our top-ranked quarterback of Week 1. In fact, he had one of the best Week 1 performances we have ever measured. What does that tell us about his future? Do quarterbacks who play well in the season opener typically maintain that level throughout the year, or is it really, as the saying goes, Just One Game?
Mahomes threw 39 passes in Kansas City's 44-21 win against Arizona, completing 30 of them for 360 yards and five touchdowns without giving up a sack or interception. In nine drives Mahomes played before giving way to Chad Henne, the Chiefs scored six touchdowns and a field goal with one punt and one lost fumble (which came at the end of Mahomes' 19-yard completion).
