SportsBeat KC podcast: Patrick Mahomes adding another tool to his belt — patience

Why 211 yards was a good game for Pat Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes averaged 301 passing yards per game in his career. So when he delivered 211 through the air against the Houston Texans in the Chiefs’ NFL opener, that had to be marked as a sub-standard effort, right? Wrong. Mahomes’ passer rating (123.3), completion percentage (75.0) and three touchdowns in a game that wasn’t in doubt after halftime showed an ability to win without an eye-popping yardage total.

Mahomes discusses the performance on Wednesday in a conference call with reporters and after an introduction by beat writer Sam McDowell, you’ll hear all of Mahomes’ comments on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast. After a break Andy Reid covers several topics in his meeting with reporters.
