Patrick Mahomes Reveals Key Difference in His Play, Chiefs Offense This Season

The Chiefs’ offense looks revived through the Week 7 of the 2025 season, and not just because of the returns of receivers Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice. Along with getting their top playmakers back on the field, quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been stepping his game up once again.

Since Mahomes last won NFL MVP in 2022 and led the Chiefs to the No. 1 offense in both total yards and points per game that season, Kansas City has become more reliant on its defense, and the offense was far from as exciting or dangerous as it used to be. In 2024, Mahomes threw for less than 4,000 yards for the first time since he started just one game as a rookie and averaged a career-low 6.8 yards per attempt. The Chiefs were still winning games and making the Super Bowl, but they weren't as explosive on offense as they wanted to be.
