Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs suffered a shocking loss on Sunday against the Denver Broncos in their Week 8 matchup. The Chiefs entered the game as a 7-point road favorite but were outplayed by Russell Wilson and the Broncos in the chilly Denver weather. Mahomes had one of the worst performances of his career, which led the Chiefs to suffer their second victory of the season.

In the game, Mahomes had a passer rating of just 59.2, as he only registered 241 passing yards while throwing for 2 interceptions. It is the worst outing by Patrick Mahomes this season in terms of passer rating. As a result, the Chiefs struggled to put points on the board and scored zero touchdowns in the game.

Ahead of the game, reports suggested that Patrick Mahomes was feeling down with the flu, but the Chiefs didn’t put him on their injury report. The Athletic reporter Dianna Russini reported that the Chiefs’ All-Pro quarterback received IV fluid treatments on both Saturday and Sunday because of his illness.

Another report suggested that Mahomes spiked a fever on Saturday but was feeling way better on Sunday. Mahomes could’ve had a bad outing due to his flu. Furthermore, he was also playing in very chilly Denver weather.

His illness would explain how Mahomes could have a horrific performance just a week after decimating the Los Angeles Chargers defense in their Week 7 matchup when he threw for 424 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Still, as a result of Mahomes’ horrific outing, the defending Super Bowl Champions suffered a one-sided beatdown loss against the struggling Broncos on Sunday. This is the first time Patrick Mahomes has suffered a defeat against the Broncos in his career. He currently has a dominant 12-1 record against Denver. With that loss, the Chiefs fell to 6-2, yet they are still tied for the best record in the AFC.
