        Patrick Mahomes Comes Through vs. HOU

        Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 28 of 41 attempts for 260 yards and 1 score in Saturday's win over Houston. He added a 5-33-1 rushing line.

        2024 Fantasy Football Impact

        So much for Mahomes’ high-ankle sprain. He scored the game’s first TD on a 15-yard scramble through the teeth of Houston’s defense. Mahomes took only one sack on the day and made it through without a setback.

        "Once I got running I saw the end zone and just tried to get up in the air and get in the end zone," he said via ESPN. "It wasn't like setting a tone or anything like that. I just tried to play football at the end of the day."

        Mahomes’ lone passing TD went to Xavier Worthy, who led the Chiefs with 11 targets, 7 grabs, and 65 yards. Marquise Brown made his 2024 debut and saw a surprising 8 targets, catching 5 for 45 yards.

        Meanwhile, Travis Kelce remained quiet with 5 catches for 30 yards. He’s now been held under 50 yards in three straight.

        What's Next for Patrick Mahomes?

        Mahomes quickly turns to Week 17, as he’ll play on Christmas Day. He’ll face a Steelers pass defense that might be without top CB Joey Porter Jr. Mahomes will likely project as a fringe QB1 for that matchup.
