Patrick Mahomes Clinches AFC No. 1 seed Wednesday
Published: 2024-12-25 13:21:55
Mahomes completed 29 of 38 pass attempts for 320 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 12 yards with his only carry in Wednesday's 29-10 win over the Steelers.
Mahomes went into a tough road environment on Christmas Day and gifted his fantasy managers with his highest point total in 2024. Wednesday's win also cemented the Chiefs' status as the No. 1 seed in the AFC, earning the team a first-round bye come playoff time. Mahomes' iffy ankle looked anything but against the Steelers, with the superstar QB moving well in the pocket in addition to ripping off a 12-yard scamper in the second half. With nothing left accomplish in the regular season, there is a chance Kansas City opts to rest its offensive leader against the Broncos in Week 18 in order to preserve a healthy Mahomes for the divisional round of the playoffs on either Jan. 18 or 19.
