I heard something interesting about Kenneth Walker that might explain why the Seahawks were able to shut him down so easily. If you go back and watch the game, Walker is definitely moving his head around and scanning the defense before the snap on running plays, but on passing plays he doesn’t seem to do it.

That’s a pretty significant tell if it’s something he does consistently. The Seahawks know Walker better than just about anyone, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they picked up on that tendency and used it against him.
You have to wonder if that’s part of the reason they were able to contain him so well. And now that it’s being talked about, I wouldn’t be surprised if other teams start looking for the same thing. NFL defenses spend countless hours studying film, and something that simple could give them a huge advantage before the ball is even snapped.

NFCN overall record vs NFCN: 4-4
NFCN overall record vs rest of NFL: 15-3

And it's likely this will still be true after next week, with the Lions and Vikings playing each other that means only one of the Packers and Bears have to win their game to maintain the stat.

I can’t exactly stomach the script if we start another Mahomes dynasty because we didn’t give the ball to Charbonnet on the one, or worse K9 gets the ball on the one yard line and scores the game winning TD

Also for the opponents apparently every 12 years the teams play the same opponent rotation (interconference, intraconference, one intraconference home & away and now one interconference). For those wondering the disparities in opponents are the Bears and Patriots

Not unbelievably crazy, but JT has ran for 98,92,95,94,95 in 5 of his 7 games, but has yet to crack 100.

First half of Patrick Mahomes career was incredibly special and he was playing at a very high level but his last few years he has been no where close to top 5 production for QBs in the league.

Where he ranks over the last 3 years among other QBs during that timespan

Passing TD: 11th with 69 passing TDs (for comparison sake: Jared Goff has 104 and Matthew Stafford has 97)

Passing Yards: 9th at 10,990 yards (for comparison sake: Jared Goff is 1st with 13,654 yards and Josh Allen is 2nd with 11,368)

Completion Percentage: 14th at 65.4% (for comparison sake: Joe Burrow is 1st at 70.2% and Jared Goff is at 3rd at 69%)

Interceptions: 4th most with 35 interceptions (for comparison sake: Geno Smith has 39)

RTG (Passer Rating): 19th at 91.6 (for comparison sake: Lamar Jackson is 1st at 111.7 and Joe Burrow is 2nd at 107)

Games played: 12th with 45 games played (for comparison sake: Josh Allen and Jared Goff are tied at 1st w/ 50 games played)

EPA // SUC%

2023: +0.082 13th // 46.2% 11th

2024: +0.118 10th // 49.3% 8th

2025: +0.125 10th // 47.6% 9th

Tldr; Patrick Mahomes has not been a top 5 QB for a few years now and the first half of his career is doing the heavy lifting when people discuss where he ranks in the league.
