Mahomes Ignites Fans’ Fury

September 06, 2025 Edition #112

👋 Hey Gridiron Gang!

The Kansas City Chiefs kicked off the season with a 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo. It wasn’t a smooth start—Xavier Worthy left the game early after colliding with Travis Kelce, and a controversial hit on Patrick Mahomes dominated the conversation. Penalties and questionable plays kept creeping in, yet Mahomes still piled up 315 yards and two touchdowns, flashes of brilliance in an otherwise messy opener.

It wasn’t perfect, but the season is just getting started and there’s plenty of football left to be played. Let’s break it all down in this special post-game edition…

One game in, and Patrick Mahomes is already splitting opinions. In the Chiefs’ loss to the Chargers, he put up 315 total yards and two scores — but it was a third-quarter run that drew the spotlight. Instead of stepping out, Mahomes lowered his shoulder into cornerback Donte Jackson, flooring the veteran. Some fans loved the toughness; others saw a QB exploiting his protections.
