Chiefs predicted to rebound in 2026 season thanks to 65% Patrick Mahomes stat
This one Patrick Mahomes statistic could have KC returning to powerhouse status.
The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to rebound in the 2026 season, according to ESPN's Bill Barnwell. This prediction is based on Patrick Mahomes' 65% success rate in one-score games. If the team can replicate this performance, they could once again dominate the AFC West. However, last season, the Chiefs went 1-9 in one-score contests, which is a stark contrast to their 10-0 record in similar games during the 2024 regular season.
If Mahomes can return to form and the team improves in close games, Barnwell believes the Chiefs could secure a playoff berth.
