The Patrick Mahomes show started last season in Denver
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- In a sense, everything got started for Patrick Mahomes last season in the subfreezing twilight against the Denver Broncos.
With the AFC West and their playoff seed clinched, the Kansas City Chiefs had the luxury of sitting starting quarterback Alex Smith and playing Mahomes in Week 17. With the score tied at 24 and 2:45 remaining on the clock, Mahomes got his first chance to shine.
Mahomes, completing four passes for 52 yards and converting twice on third down, led the Chiefs to a walk-off field goal and a 27-24 win.
