![]() ![]() ![]() Mahomes' stats in four games without Hill since 2018 No one has thrown for more yards or had a better touchdown-to-interception ratio in a single quarter than Mahomes did in that game, which happened to be his first game without Hill since 2018. Week 2 of the 2019 season and facing the AFC West rival Raiders, Mahomes threw for 278 yards, four passing touchdowns and no interceptions on 12 of 17 passing (70.6%) in the second quarter of a 28-10 Kansas City win. In Mahomes' first game without Hill since becoming the Chiefs quarterback in 2018, he put up the best single-quarter performance over the last four seasons. The Chiefs continued to run their offense, throwing 66.3% of the time, the sixth-most in the NFL during those four weeks in 2019. A spotless 8-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio and 108.9 passer rating both ranked in the top five among NFL quarterbacks in that four-game span. Mahomes ensured the Chiefs continued scoring touchdowns in the brief four games he has played without Hill - Weeks 2-5 in the 2019 season - when Hill missed time with a shoulder injury. "It doesn't have to be the best accuracy or the best completion percentage in the world as long as we're scoring touchdowns and winning Super Bowls, I'll take it." "As long as we're winning football games and putting up points, I think I'm doing my job the right way," Mahomes said. (Since 2018, Per PFF & Football Outsiders ) YearĮven though Hill broke the Chiefs' single-season receptions record in 2021 with 111 catches to go along with 1,239 receiving yards and nine receiving touchdowns, Mahomes isn't sweating his departure or his comments. Chiefs pass-play rates & seconds per play in non-garbage-time situations Since Mahomes became the Chiefs' starter in 2019, Reid and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy have let the offense roll from their quarterback's right arm, opting to pass at one of the highest and most up-tempo rates in the NFL in order to achieve victory each season since 2018.

This offense was rolling before I got here, this offense was rolling when I was a young Cowboys fan watching the Eagles beat up on the Cowboys. ![]() But as you know in Coach Reid's offense, it takes the whole team. I still love Tyreek, he's a one-of-a-kind player. I'm sure it had something to do with his podcast and getting that rolling. "I saw him out at Formula 1 in Miami in May. "I'm surprised a little because we love Tyreek and we still love him," Mahomes said on June 16 at Chiefs minicamp. Naturally, Hill took to saying the grass is greener and called Tagovailoa the more accurate deep-ball passer over the 2018 NFL MVP and 2019 Super Bowl MVP Mahomes, which caught his former quarterback off guard. Mahomes' rankings through 63 career starts (since 1950) Only Hall of Famer Dan Marino had more passing touchdowns (156) than Mahomes' 151 through a player's first 63 starts in that span. ![]() Mahomes has the most passing yards (18,991) and highest passer rating (105.8) through a player's first 63 starts since 1950. After making 63 starts in his young, five-year career, he is on pace for one of the most prolific careers in NFL history. Likewise, Mahomes, alongside Hill and tight end Travis Kelce, also seems to be on a path toward Canton through the first five seasons of his career. Here's a look at the wide receivers in NFL history to total 450+ receptions, 6,500+ receiving yards and 55+ receiving TDs in their first six seasons: However, it's still stunning to see Hill leave his first NFL home, where he was on a Hall of Fame trajectory as Mahomes' top wide receiver. The move makes Hill the highest paid at his position annually (average of $30 million per year). The wide receiver demanded a trade in order to find his pay day, which the Dolphins provided in the form of a four-year, $120 million deal with $72.2 million in guaranteed money. With the NFL salary cap slowly enveloping the Chiefs' spending ability like a boa constrictor with the first year of Mahomes' 10-year, $450 million deal kicking in this upcoming season, Hill ran toward the money like he runs toward the end zone, in a blur, once contract talks fell apart with the Chiefs.
