There Are 17 Weeks Left of Red Raider vs Red Raider NFL Action

Patrick Mahomes played the Cardinals in 2018, but his college coach was still at Texas Tech for that game. Over the next few months, Patrick Mahomes would win NFL MVP and play in his first AFC Championship game. Kingsbury would be fired from his alma mater and land in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals.

Under Mahomes' quarterbacking, the Kansas City Chiefs have ended their seasons in the Super Bowl or the AFC Championship game. That's a streak that runs back to 2018 and includes two Super Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl Championship.

Kingsbury took over the Cardinals in 2019 and has improved their record each year. They were one of the best teams in the NFL through the first 10 weeks of the NFL last year, but fell off late.

Mahomes' number one deep threat left the team in free agency after they didn't make him the highest-paid receiver in the league. Then, Tyreek Hill took shots at the team and his quarterback all offseason.

The pair met in week one of the NFL season and Mahomes proved he didn't need Hill to be successful, and the Cardinals proved Kyler Murray isn't a franchise quarterback.

Mahomes and the Chiefs beat the Cardinals 44-21. The former NFL MVP threw for 360 yards and 5 touchdowns in the massacre.
