The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally here. The 2023 NFL season is well underway, and fans are already starting to see which teams and players will give a lot to talk about throughout the year. Patrick Mahomes, of course, is on that list.

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar comes from a fantastic season that saw him win both the MVP and Super Bowl MVP awards for the second time, and he’s already putting up great numbers for his team.

Following a loss to the Detroit Lions in the season opener, Mahomes got the Chiefs back on track with great performances to get back-to-back wins. However, there are other quarterbacks who’ve thrown for more yards than him so far.
