NFL analyst explains 'real reason' Patrick Mahomes' explosive deep passes aren't the same anymore

Patrick Mahomes' explosive passing plays have slowed down, says analyst. 1 2 The Kansas City Chiefs have remained a model of consistency in the NFL , but their offense no longer packs the same explosive punch it once did. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes , once feared for his deep-ball prowess and highlight-reel throws, has seen a noticeable decline in his long-range passing. Even with two Super Bowl titles in the last three years and a 15-win regular season just behind them, it's clear the offensive dynamic has changed a fair bit. The Kansas City Chiefs' offensive style is changing — and Patrick Mahomes' deep-pass magic is fading Rewind to 2022 and the Chiefs were electric. Patrick Mahomes threw for over 5,000 yards and 41 touchdowns en route to the coveted MVP title. Kansas City's offense set the tone every game, torching defenses with explosive plays. But those fireworks have long fizzled. In 2023 and 2024, Kansas City's attack turned far more conservative, while the defense stepped up to carry more of the load. Wins are still coming, but they are often gritty, low-scoring battles – a stark contrast to the big-play spectacles fans were once used to. Breaking down what's behind the drop in Mahomes' long throws downfield Patrick Mahomes made his name slinging it deep, often finding targets 20 or more yards downfield with precision. Between 2018 and 2022, he averaged 4.3 deep pass attempts per game, piling up 45 touchdowns to just 12 interceptions. His passer rating on those throws? A stunning 112.3. But things took a turn. In the past two seasons (2023-2024), those attempts dropped to just three per game. The production dropped off a cliff – only four touchdowns, eight interceptions and a steep decline in passer rating to just 47.7. NFL Analyst says there were warning signs in 2022 NFL analyst Nick Wright took a closer look at this regression during an interview – and believes the warning signs were already visible during Mahomes' second MVP run. 'He kind of stopped throwing deep in 2022, the year he won league MVP, because there was so much run-after-catch stuff. The 2023 it seems like gets chalked up to drops, and nobody cared anyway because they won the Super Bowl. Last year, for me, was the perfect storm of sucking in the deep passing game. ' Mahomes: "Got to be better at throwing down the field," is NFC Eagles to lose? | FIRST THINGS FIRST So what does all of this mean moving forward? The Kansas Chiefs are still very much a contender, with Patrick Mahomes leading the way and a stout defense backing him up. But the days of him launching 60-yard bombs every week may be behind us – at least for now. FAQs Q: Why has Patrick Mahomes stopped throwing deep as often? A: Several factors are at play, including offensive scheme changes and a greater reliance on short passes and yards after the catch. Q: Is Mahomes still playing at an MVP level? A: While he remains elite, his deep passing stats have significantly declined compared to his earlier MVP seasons. Q: Are the Chiefs still a top NFL team despite this change? A: Yes -- they have won a Super Bowl and 15 regular-season games recently, showing they can adapt and win in different ways.

WNBA rejection won't deter Patrick Mahomes' $275M Kansas City mission
Patrick Mahomes (via Getty Images) Patrick Mahomes has already delivered championships, investment, and generational excitement to Kansas City—and he's not finished. When the WNBA rejected his offer to bring a team to the city, the Chiefs' all-world quarterback made one thing clear: Kansas City is his home, and he's not going anywhere in terms of constructing its sports empire. Patrick Mahomes' WNBA bid comes up short despite star power and established investment track record At age 24, Patrick Mahomes became the youngest owner in the history of MLB when he acquired the Kansas City Royals. Since then, he has diversified his portfolio to comprise Sporting KC (MLS) and Kansas City Current (NWSL) ownership. It was only a matter of time before he directed his attention to women's basketball. But in an unexpected turn, the WNBA is said to have turned down Patrick Mahomes' overture to bring an expansion team to Kansas City. Even with his clout, extensive roots in the city, and expanding interest in female sports, the league opted to give expansion rights elsewhere—in more amiable arena situations or demographics-based markets. Patrick Mahomes speaks on potentially owning a WNBA team 'It's been really cool to see the WNBA and how it's really grown over these last few years especially,' he said. 'There's been a lot of great players for a long time …obviously Caitlin Clark , A'Ja Wilson. It's great to see these players receive the publicity they've deserved. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Many Are Watching Tariffs - Few Are Watching What Nvidia Just Launched Seeking Alpha Read More Undo Although Kansas City lost out, he has no intention of giving up.

" Patrick Mahomes' $275M commitment is bigger than football In 2020, Patrick Mahomes agreed to a historic 10-year, $450 million contract with the Chiefs—$275 million of which is guaranteed. That was not merely a contract to remain in red and gold. It was a declaration of loyalty to Kansas City. Ever since, Mahomes has transcended being a quarterback. Through his 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, he's donated millions to youth and underprivileged communities. Kansas City lost a WNBA team, but it still keeps Patrick Mahomes Mahomes' WNBA bid may have been rejected—temporarily.
