Patrick Mahomes only needed 15 minutes to melt the Raiders

Jon Gruden's merry band of footballers began their match against the Kansas City leaders yesterday afternoon by surprising everyone and scoring in their first two rounds. Derek Carr's precision (as well as the interference of a 43-yard pass against Tyrann Mathieu) allowed the Raiders to take a 10-0 lead after the first quarter. It is at this point that Patrick Mahomes has set to work and shredded the Raiders for 15 of the most dominant minutes you will see on a football field all year long.

Mahomes' line in the second quarter only: 12 passes in passes for 17 yards for 278 yards and four touchdowns, all of which came from outside the red zone. Only nine NFL teams made more than four touchdown passes in two full games and only 11 teams averaged over 278 passing yards. Attend the destruction.

The most impressive pitch of the quarter was finally canceled by a penalty of maintenance, but look at the pure power of this ball of Mahomes. Attempting to place a ball like this in a window that is actively tightened by an uncontrolled safety is a recipe for a choice, such as having your body go across the far left of the field while running. Mahomes is so strong that it does not matter.

We've been comparing Mahomes to Steph Curry since the start of last season, and when Mahomes plays like he did in the second quarter of yesterday, it's easy to see where the people are. The man has an absolute pistol for an arm, and when he throws well, the Chiefs can score points and clear an opponent as quickly and ruthlessly as the Warriors can. This is the best show of the NFL.
