Stroud’s regression on the field and in the hobby has been jarring. In real life, the only QBs with worse EPA per dropback numbers than Stroud in the last six weeks: Drew Lock, Will Levis, Kirk Cousins, Jameis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Baltimore #Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is likely to surpass Kansas City #Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in postseason category | @EdEastonJr

Quarterbacks aren't the end-all, be-all when it comes to competing for NFL championships. More often than not, in fact, signal-callers are only as elite as their supporting cast, especially when it comes to playoff football.

Think it looked like Patrick Mahomes figured something out late in the season? Your eyes aren’t deceiving you. Here’s what happened.

Though he was able to grit his teeth and play through some pain in Kansas City’s Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mahomes is still listed on the Chiefs’ injury report. Will Mahomes’ ankle injury affect his ability to participate in Kansas City’s Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos?

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the favorite to win his third straight Super Bowl MVP award.

The Chiefs’ QB is in a league of his own, while Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen enter the postseason on the quest for hardware to elevate their illustrious résumés.
