Patrick Mahomes is now 5-0 in five career starts and 2-0 in both showings at Mile High Stadium. The young quarterback’s ability to carry the Chiefs to an unblemished 4-0 record this season called for, yet again, some Twitter reaction:
Let’s start with his first rushing TD...

That left-handed throw during the final drive. Cue the hysteria.

LEFT-HANDED?@PatrickMahomes5 is UNREAL.

Patrick Mahomes can literally throw a ball with his left hand while getting tackled by Von Miller and still end up with a first down... pic.twitter.com/N2nWyB6iqM

Wait until he faces a real defense, they said...

Wait until he faces a tough road environment, they said...
Wait until he has to bring his team back from behind, they said...
Done waiting. #Mahomes
And the...fire flames?
Patrick Mahomes is out of control. He's worth five fires.

After four straight weeks of greatness, he’s even started replacing some big names:

And creating a league of his own:
.@PatrickMahomes5 has been the best player in football through the first 4 games of this season, and it’s not particularly close. #MondayNightFootball

It's real damn difficult to be a skeptic after watching Mahomes do THAT...on the road, against a blood rival, as a rookie, in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.

Patrick Mahomes:
— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) October 2, 2018
Aaron Rodgers accuracy / escapability
Brett Favre moxie
Tom Brady pinpoint deep ball
John Elway arm strength
Joe Montana clutch gene
Drew Brees intangibles
Did I mentioned he just turned 23?#Chiefs
The way @Chiefs players rave about Mahomes is eerily similar to the way we used to talk about Favre when he won 3 straight MVPs w/ @Packers in the mid-1990s . No.4 gave us “hope”.. We knew we just needed to give him a shot & he could win it.. No.15 gives KC belief..That’s Rare
— Bucky Brooks (@BuckyBrooks) October 2, 2018
The kid @PatrickMahomes5 showed that backyard, ad-lib ability that makes him so special... not always pretty, but u find a way! Great finish for the @Chiefs - fun to witness in person!
— Kurt Warner (@kurt13warner) October 2, 2018
Let's add some context to just how great @PatrickMahomes5 has been to start the season.

Only 2013 Peyton Manning threw more TDs through the first four games of a season. This kid is good. #RingerNFL pic.twitter.com/uO3OpEYoyv
But, that’s none of our business...

It’s safe to say, Mahomes’ teammates are feeling the love, too:

Tyreek Hill with great quote on Mahomes’ left-handed throw: “he throws better than me and I’m left-handed.” #Chiefs #broncos @TEAM_Tailgate pic.twitter.com/w9oXZp2vmg
— Patrick Graham (@pgraham34) October 2, 2018
Even anti-Chiefs fans are on the Patrick Mahomes bandwagon:
I can’t stand the chiefs but Patrick Mahomes is the truth so far
— RayKaVeLi (@ItsRamboRay) October 2, 2018
Mahomes has more game-winning drives at Mile High (2) than Paxton Lynch has wins as an NFL starter (1). https://t.co/7Zl6SRKJ4J

And, to no surprise, the Chiefs locker room was hyped:
Walked in the locker room, the first thing I saw was Justin Houston running around and re-enacting Patrick Mahomes’ left-handed throw for all of his teammates. Said he’s never seen something like that.
— BJ Kissel (@ChiefsReporter) October 2, 2018
Lot of smiles, laughs.
*Someone cue the 4-0 dance:
Dancing because @PatrickMahomes5 pulled off a good game! #WreckEm pic.twitter.com/Veg2Qld2Fw

But, hey, no one said he was a tri-sport athlete. However, would anyone be surprised?
Patrick Mahomes just signed with the Warriors.

Goodnight, Patrick.
Man i love this team! #ChiefsKingdom let’s keep it rollin!
