Patrick Mahomes: Rushing TD gave me confidence I could be myself
Mahomes also threw two TDs in his return from a torn ACL.
Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback, demonstrated his football abilities beyond just throwing passes on Monday night. After returning from a torn ACL injury, the question was whether he could still make plays with his feet. The answer came quickly during the opening drive when Mahomes ran for a five-yard touchdown, only for the play to be called back due to a holding penalty.
Undeterred, Mahomes repeated the rushing touchdown on the next play, leading the Chiefs to a 31-10 victory over the Broncos. Post-game, Mahomes commented on the significance of his performance, stating that it gave him confidence to go out and be himself. "Physically, I think that’s the moment", he said. "I want to get some of these passes down the field a little bit more — I think that’ll help me out mentally and kinda get back in the rhythm of things."
Despite not running for much yardage, Mahomes completed 15 of 27 passes for 184 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the game.
