The Kansas City Chiefs had their 12-game winning streak over the Denver Broncos come to a halt on Sunday afternoon, with the visitors from Missouri getting shown the door early in a 24-9 faceplant along the Front Range. The road loss knocked K.C. to 6-2 for the year. In the game defending MVP Patrick Mahomes posted dismal numbers, going 24-for-38 for 241 yards with zero passing touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss.
Luckily for fans of the Chiefs, Mahomes has responded well to past losses, dating back to the two-time MVP’s first full season as a starter in 2018.

Mahomes Has Done Well After Losses Over the Years
It says a lot about Mahomes’ ability to shake off tough results when you see his 82.4% win percentage in contests that follow those defeats, with the former Texas Tech Red Raider going 14-3 in such games.
In those contests, Mahomes has averaged 280.7 passing yards per game and has tossed 44 touchdowns to 16 interceptions overall.
There are no Missouri sports betting apps, but, for those looking ahead to this weekend’s Frankfurt morning game, Mahomes and the Chiefs are listed as a 2.5-point favorite over the 6-2 Dolphins nationally on Caesars Sportsbook, showing how much faith oddsmakers have in the seventh-year quarterback.
Based off his track record in games that followed an uncharacteristic Chiefs loss, it’s hard to blame them for that belief, with Mahomes looking to follow that script to a T when Kansas City plays Miami in Frankfurt on Sunday morning.
