In fact, Mahomes started the game, taking the ball on the Cardinals\u2019 26 yard line after Arizona returner\u00a0Greg Dortch fumbled\u00a0the opening kickoff.<\/p>\n<h2>One Throw, One Touchdown<\/h2>\n<p>Mahomes remained in the game for\u00a0all of 48 seconds and three plays, one of them negated by an Arizona pass interference penalty, ending his outing with a one-yard touchdown pass to second-year\u00a0wide receiver Jason Brownlee.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, Mahomes stat line ended up giving him a quarterback rating of 118.8. To put that in perspective, Mahomes rating for the playoffs is 105.4,\u00a0second-best all-time behind\u00a0Baker Mayfield\u2019s 105.9.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-post\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs\/travis-kelce-dating-rules\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail visible\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Travis-Kelce-Dating-Dealbreakers-Taylor-Swift.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=242&amp;h=161&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"161\" data-lazy-load=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Travis-Kelce-Dating-Dealbreakers-Taylor-Swift.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=242&amp;h=161&amp;crop=1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<p class=\"title\">Travis Kelce\u2019s Dubious Love Advice Turns Heads After Taylor Swift Escalation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But after a lackluster performance \u2014\u00a0with a rating of 95.4\u00a0\u2014 in Super Bowl 59, there have been questions surrounding whether Mahomes is up to year another run at a championship, his fourth, and what would be his sixth Super Bowl appearance in seven years.<\/p>\n<h2>Kelce Offers Assessment of Mahomes<\/h2>\n<p>The Chief\u2019s other future Hall of Famer, tight end Travis Kelce, did sit out Saturday\u2019s game.
