That\u2019s what happens when your team is 2-3, even with that great history of wins for years with the franchise.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Now, what we\u2019re about to share by no means belittles what Mahomes continues to bring to the Chiefs or changes that he\u2019s one of the greatest quarterbacks of his generation, if not the greatest. But, for someone who\u2019s used to being on top of every tally, it\u2019s surprising to see where he lands going into Week 6 of the NFL season.<\/p>\n<h2>Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs Falls Behind 2 Quarterbacks<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Following Sunday\u2019s loss to the Jags and ahead of the team\u2019s Sunday, October 12, game against the\u00a0Detroit Lions, Mahomes is in an usual spot on USA Today\u2019s tally of the best quarterbacks heading into Week 6.<\/p>\n<div id=\"febd5bf800935dfc3c42eaa0fe7ea396\" class=\"embed_container\">\n<div class=\"lazy-embed lazy-embed--ssr embed-instagram-com lazy-embed--loaded\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DPfUjKAjH0S\/\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DPfUjKAjH0S\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=656&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fheavy.com&amp;rp=%2Fsports%2Fnfl%2Fkansas-city-chiefs%2Fpatrick-mahomes-no-longer-1-qb%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A591635.4000000004%7D\" height=\"1113\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jack McKessy of USA Today has released his roster of Week 6 power rankings,\u00a0out on Wednesday, October 8, and in it, he notes that Week 5 was filled with upsets in the NFL, because both of the league\u2019s remaining undefeated franchises, the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills, lost their games. That had to make the Chiefs smile a little.<\/p>\n<p>In his tally, he places Mahomes as the No. 3 best quarterback in the league. It\u2019s pretty wild to see him below not only Josh Allen of the Bills, who\u2019s No. 2, but also Mahomes\u2019 upcoming opponent,\u00a0Jared Goff\u00a0of the\u00a0Detroit Lions, who\u2019s No. 1.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\"><em>\u201cMahomes\u2019 end zone interception that was returned for a touchdown was not entirely his fault \u2013 the Jaguars designed an excellent concept to force the error \u2013 but it did give Jacksonville the lead and major momentum at home,\u201d McKessy says in the piece. \u201cThe Chiefs\u2019 quarterback also threw for 318 yards and once again led his team in rushing yards in Week 5.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Of Goff, he says, \u201cGoff\u2019s 19-of-23 outing with three touchdowns against the Bengals moved him into the league lead in\u00a0completion percentage (75.2%)\u00a0and\u00a0touchdown passes (12). He\u2019s also No. 1 in passer rating and QBR among quarterbacks to have started all five games \u2013 only Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was ruled out in Week 5, has higher marks.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Kansas City Chiefs Take On the Detroit Lions<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">In ESPN\u2019s power rankings for all of the\u00a0NFL teams heading into Week 6, the publication gives the Detroit Lions the No. 1 spot on the tally.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">The Chiefs are No. 10. <strong><em>\u201cIsiah Pacheco was supposed to give the Chiefs better balance on offense after missing most of last season because of a broken right leg,\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Nate Taylor of ESPN notes in the piece. \u201cBut he is in a funk, averaging just 7.2 fantasy points per game and 32.6 rushing yards per game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">So, Mahomes is going to have some stiff competition come Sunday.
