Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes left off Pro Bowl roster for first time as starter


Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes has the team primed and ready to try for a third straight Super Bowl title, but one of his streaks came to an end on Thursday.

Mahomes was left off the initial AFC Pro Bowl roster when it was announced. The three quarterbacks on the list have each been named as potential MVP candidates: Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens and Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Creed Humphrey, Chris Jones, Travis Kelce, Trey Smith and Joe Thuney were among the members of the Chiefs named to the Pro Bowl roster. Mahomes may not have the stats to be a Pro Bowler, but the Chiefs are 15-1 on the season and have earned home-field advantage in the playoffs.

He has 3,928 passing yards, 26 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions. His passing mark of 26 touchdowns is tied for the second-lowest of his career since becoming the team’s starting quarterback.
