Mahomes completed 24 of 42 passes for 315 yards and added 54 yards on six rushes during Sunday's 34-30 win over the Lions.
The Lions were a play away from capping off the upset in the final moments of Sunday's game when, facing 4th-and-8, Mahomes drifted back, found a lane, and scooted upfield for a gain of 15, setting up the game-winning touchdown. Playing a Detroit defense that has frustrated a Pro Bowl's worth of quarterbacks already this season, Mahomes wasn't playing pitch and catch as he typically does and was held without a touchdown for the first time since Week 5 of last season. Sunday showed that Mahomes is mortal; it just so happens that mortal -- for him -- still includes 369 total yards.
