00:02 What does that mean for the reigning NFL MVP and

00:06 Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes?

00:09 His passing yards prompt tonight, 285 and a half.

00:13 DRS, this will be his sixth season as the starting quarterback in Kansas City,

00:17 his seventh overall as a National Football League player.

00:21 In his previous five season openers, he has gone over this number of 285 and

00:26 a half in three of the five games.

00:28 He has thrown for at least 337 yards in all three overs.

00:33 In fact, he is averaging 308 passing yards per game, DRS,

00:38 in his previous five season openers in his NFL career.

00:42 But where do you fall on that prompt, DRS, 285 and a half,

00:46 knowing that Mahomes might not have Travis Kelsey this evening against Detroit?

00:52 >> Look, it's still Patrick Mahomes.

00:53 What's he gonna drop back?

00:54 35 plus times tonight, regardless of having Kelsey or not.

00:57 And also, let's remind ourselves who the head coach is here.

00:59 Watch him for over a decade in Philadelphia.

01:02 He never met a pass play that he did not like.

01:04 So let's not say, you know what, the enemy's moved on here to Washington.

01:07 Hey, Andy Reid says, finally, got my offense back, Ben.

01:10 Let's run the football.

01:11 Absolutely not.

01:13 He's gonna be thrown, and even here's what's gonna take place.

01:15 Kelsey can't be replaced, obviously, as an offensive weapon.

01:18 But that just means more backs out of the backfield.

01:19 That short passing game now turns to the running backs and

01:22 also some of the outside wide receivers.

01:24 Changes will be made here.

01:25 And again, sometimes when you take a look at injuries, Ben,

01:28 if Travis Kelsey got injured in the second quarter,

01:30 then you gotta say, whoa, we are scrambling at the half.

01:32 We have 12 minutes to sort of change up our game plan.

01:35 They know Kelsey's condition right now.

01:37 I know they're saying, hey, look, it might be a game time decision.

01:39 There is a backup plan already put in.

01:41 The Chiefs won't be surprised when the game starts if they have Kelsey or

01:44 if they don't have Kelsey.

01:46 285, who's going under on Patrick Mahomes?

01:49 Come on now.
