The Kansas City Chiefs and their diet-conscious quarterback Patrick Mahomes are having another superb season this year. After securing the Super Bowl title in the 2022 NFL season, they are strongly heading towards securing the title once again, thanks to Pat for his stellar performance on the offensive side and incredible leadership on the field.
With seven defeats and two losses, the Chiefs are proudly sitting atop the AFC West, although their offense had little contribution behind it. Consequently, Mahomes declared their defensive side as the main protagonist behind these victories, and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel didn’t like the claim.
Samuel responds to Patrick Mahomes’ bold predictions
The Week 9 win over the league’s top-rated offense team, the Dolphins, was the fruit of the Chiefs’ brawny defense that Patrick Mahomes could not hold himself sharing following their 21-14 win before his jersey swap event.
While the floundering offense was continuously failing to grab the opportunities, the Chiefs’ defense stole the day by keeping the Dolphin’s offense under pressure, instigating the two-time MVP to declare the lineup “the best defense in the NFL”.
“I think it’s the best defense in the NFL. If we have a defense like that, we’re going to get this offense figured out, I promise you that. We’re going to be a hard team to beat.” The Chief’s hero’s claim, nevertheless, could not gain acceptance from Samuel, who exchanged his view on it on the “Up & Adams Show.”
The 49ers receiver sees Mahomes’ take as a general thought of all the players regarding their own team, per a report from NBC Sports.
“Suit yourself, man. I think everybody is going to think they’ve got the best offense in the league, the best defense in the league. Why wouldn’t you?”
To repudiate Pat’s claim, Deebo utterly stunned host Kay Adams, titling the 49ers as the team, bolstering them with the league’s best offensive and defensive troops in the league.
“I’m going to say the same thing. I’m going to say we have the best offense in the league and the best defense in the league.”
Following nine weeks of the NFL, the Chiefs improved their position, standing at 7-2 while the high-flying 49ers lost their charm after Week 5, losing three games at a stretch.
Patrick Mahomes bolsters MVP bid with Week 9 victory
After having a stellar season so far, Patrick Mahomes has once again bolstered his position as an elite player and is currently tied with Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts to win the NFL MVP award this season at +350, via DraftKings Sportsbook.
The signal-caller played a pivotal role in the Chiefs’ offensive side by throwing for 17 touchdowns throughout nine games. He recorded 42 carries for 258 yards along with 2,442 passing yards while averaging 271.3 per game. The vet also went 229-for-334 (68.6%) for eight interceptions.
The Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow, whom Myles Garret picked as an MVP candidate, is emerging as a new threat for Pat as his odds to secure the title changed from +5000 in 2 weeks ago to +900 now, and if Cincy continues their streak, Joe Cool will become a nightmare for the Chiefs star. Meanwhile, Jackson’s dual-threat ability and Hurt’s infamous yet effective “tush push” strategy, as well as the 7-1 mark, are already a setback for the two-time MVP to secure his third title.
The Chiefs will face off against Hurts’ Philly squad in week 11 on Monday Night Football games, and Mahomes will need to overshadow the signal-caller to have an advantage on the run. Do you think that he will be able to do that? Tell us in the comments.
