NEVER A DOUBT. Patrick freaking Mahomes, 281 days after tearing his ACL he throws for 381 yards & looks all the way back. 2-0 & will only get better on both sides of the ball.

My hometown team turning literally everyone else in the media into Sideshow Bob stepping on a rake each and every year with their “No, THIS year is different! The aura is gone! They’re not the AFC favorites!”, having those people SWEAR they’re done stepping on rakes after the annual Arrowhead Invitational, and then those same people not being able to resist the urge to step on the damn rake again & just be SHOCKED it hits them in the face has turned into my favorite annual tradition.
