Patrick Mahomes looked in fine form against the Las Vegas Raiders last night. The KC Chiefs quarterback threw five touchdown passes against the Raiders. The quarterback also had his first 400-yard passing game of the season, as he passed for 406 yards against the Raiders.

Another impressive aspect of his play against the Raiders was the fact that his passes didn’t get intercepted even once by the Raiders defense. His performance against the Raiders was a stark improvement from his week 9 display against the Packers, where he threw a career-low 166 yards. Here’s hoping that Mahomes gets back on track for the rest of the season!
