What is Patrick Mahomes' worst season?
The Chiefs have found plenty of success since Mahomes joined their ranks in 2017, making the playoffs seven consecutive seasons since Mahomes became starter. During that spell, they have three 12-win seasons, two 14-win campaigns and a 15-win showing in 2024.
Kansas City's worst performance under Mahomes' tutelage was an 11-6 finish in 2023. Andy Reid's side dropped five of seven games from Weeks 8-16. A shock defeat to the Raiders on Christmas wasn't becoming of a team with Super Bowl hopes.
The Chiefs found their footing anyways. They downed the Dolphins, Ravens and Bills in confident fashion before outgunning the 49ers in overtime to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
