The NFL's AFC West is about to witness a clash of contrasting fortunes. On Sunday, Patrick Mahomes, the superstar quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, will take on the Las Vegas Raiders, aiming to solidify his dominance in the division. But here's the catch: while Mahomes boasts an incredible 35-6 record against AFC West teams, the Raiders are on a seven-game losing streak within the division. This is the longest current division losing streak in the league!
Mahomes, with a winning percentage of 85.4% against AFC West opponents, is on a historic run. Since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, no starting quarterback with a minimum of 20 starts has achieved such a high winning percentage. And this Sunday's game is even more significant as the Chiefs look to bounce back from their Week 1 loss to the Chargers in Brazil.
Adding to the intrigue, receiver Rashee Rice returns to the Chiefs, forming a potent trio with receivers Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown. This will be the first time all three are available for a regular-season game, and the Chiefs are eager to showcase their offensive prowess after an 0-2 start.
But here's where it gets controversial: is Mahomes' success solely due to his individual brilliance, or does it also reflect the overall strength of the Chiefs organization? The debate is open, and fans are encouraged to share their thoughts on this intriguing topic.
