What BBN said about it
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorPatrick Mahomes was a full participant in practice all week, and the Chiefs will play Denver on Sunday afternoon with him under center.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's wonderful news. A man who shows up all week, I'd say that's a leader.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, he threw for a season-low one hundred sixty-five yards last time out, with no touchdowns and two interceptions over the last two weeks.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAttendance is not the issue here.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call that a quarterback who is protecting the football from the end zone. Very careful stewardship.
