Mahomes led Kansas City to 15-1 this season
Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes has the team poised and ready for a shot at a third consecutive Super Bowl title, but one of his streaks came to an end on Thursday.
Mahomes was left off of the initial AFC Pro Bowl roster when it was announced. The three quarterbacks on the roster have each been named as potential MVP candidates – Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen, Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson and Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow.

Creed Humphrey, Chris Jones, Travis Kelce, Trey Smith and Joe Thuney were among those from the Chiefs named to the Pro Bowl roster. Mahomes may not have the stats to be a Pro Bowler, but the Chiefs are 15-1 on the season and have earned home-field advantage in the playoffs.
He has 3,928 passing yards, 26 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions. The 26-touchdown pass mark is tied for the second lowest of his career since he became the team’s starting quarterback.
