Patrick Mahomes not letting the Chiefs’ defense ruin a good thing | ESPN
If this is the way it’s going to be, the Chiefs appear to be equipped to handle it. New starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who had six touchdown passes on Sunday to go with his four against the Chargers, is more advanced at this early stage of his career than the Chiefs had dared to hope.
“I don’t think we gave him enough credit. I think he was better than we thought,” Dupree said, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. “I feel like his intelligence was better than we thought. We thought since he was a young quarterback we could trick him, but he kind of spread us out. He didn’t snap the ball fast so he was really trying to read us, seeing where the weaknesses were before he snapped the ball. Many young quarterbacks can’t really check like that. He showed us otherwise.”

Patrick Mahomes and a great story about Jack Morris being a jerk | Yahoo! Sports
Today, over at Peter King’s Football Morning in America, King, not surprisingly, talks about Mahomes. In so doing he relates a Jack Morris anecdote which is so very on-brand for Jack Morris. And another one about a circa-2003 A-Rod which is not exactly on-brand for him.
Around the league
Fantasy impact of Josh Gordon trade to the Patriots | NFL
Gordon’s departure opens things up for Rashard Higgins and Antonio Callaway, with the latter scoring a touchdown in Sunday’s loss to the Saints. Jarvis Landry remains the undisputed leader among pass-catchers on the roster but the young guys could see more balls thrown their way. Callaway should be added off the waiver wire in all leagues while Higgins is at least worth a stash in the short term.
