Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has brought home another award, being named AFC Offensive Player of the Week. Mahomes was 27 of 34 for 298 yards and two passing touchdowns, equating to a 122.8 passer rating in the Chiefs’ Week 12, 31-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Mahomes addressed the latest honor during Wednesday’s press conference with reporters. He shared the accolade with his teammates as they rebounded from poor offensive performances over the past few weeks.
“Yeah, it still means a ton. I mean, obviously, it’s an award for playing great football, which is hard to do in this league. And so I think it still means a ton, and it speaks to the team mostly.” said Mahomes, “I mean, most times, you win the game, and guys around you make plays to get those awards. And so it was a good week for us offensively, and we’ll try to keep it rolling.”
