Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Chiefs, comments on his PFF rating following the Chargers victory

Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, was only rated as the eighth-best quarterback in the league by PFF in Week 1

When the grade was revealed, it was met with mockery and criticism.

Following the Chiefs' 27-24 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night, the mockery continued.

On Thursday night, Mahomes spoke about a dropped interception that had struck the ground before dropping the mike on PFF as he left the podium.

When compared to a week prior, Mahomes was not quite as dominant.

Mahome produced some absolutely incredible plays, though, to help the Chiefs start the season 2-0, and he was still terrific for the most part.
