Quarterback

Patrick Mahomes (TRUST): Mahomes was sizzling heading into the bye. He is on a run of four straight top-six scoring weeks, coming off throwing for a season-high 12.4 yards per pass attempt against the 49ers.

Mahomes leads all quarterbacks in passing points per attempt (0.595) and has been downright awesome in high-leverage spots.

Mahomes on third downs needing seven or more yards is 22-of-21 (71.0%), averaging 15.7 yards per pass attempt and converting a league-high 51.5% of those downs.

Exiting the bye, Mahomes draws a Tennessee passing defense that is 27th in passing points allowed per attempt (0.477), allowing 7.6 yards per pass attempt (7.6 Y/A) and a 5.5% touchdown rate (29th) to opposing passers.
