Mahomes also became the PFWA’s 10th straight and 33rd MVP Award winner. “Mahomes, in his sixth NFL season, started all 17 games, completed 435 of 648 passes for a league-leading 5,250 yards with an NFL-best 41 touchdowns and a 105.2 passer rating (second in the NFL)”.

“He rushed 61 times for 358 yards and four touchdowns, and he also caught one pass for six yards. Combined, Mahomes accounted for an NFL-record 5,614 total offense yards. He threw for 300 or more yards a Chiefs-record 10 times, including a season-high 446 yards against Tennessee in Week 9”.

“He led the league in completions of 20+ yards (73) and 40+ yards (13). Mahomes was the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for Weeks 1 and 4 and the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for November. He was selected to the FPWA’s 2022 All-NFL and All-AFC teams”.

When Mahomes received his first PFWA MVP Award in 2018, he became the first Chiefs player to do it. He also won the Associated Press MVP Award that year. It’s a positive sign that he’ll be able to accomplish it again in 2022.
