The Kansas City Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes’ form is directly linked to the franchise’s success. As their signal caller, his pass accuracy improved by 14.8% (~15%) while scoring 12 touchdowns and 1 interception in the last 5 games (from weeks 3-7). That helped them shed the weight of two season-opening losses and win 4 of those 5 games. But they need to be more careful from now on, as their path to the playoffs isn’t easy at all.

According to the New York Times computer, which simulated 100k situations about the Chiefs’ remaining season, they have an 87% chance of qualifying for the postseason. But it also projected triple failures for the AFC West franchise, predicting a final regular-season record of 11-6.

Currently, they are third in their division with a 4-3 record after 7 games.
