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

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

It was negative-4 degrees at kickoff with a wind chill of negative-27 and conditions didn’t improve. Coach Andy Reid’s mustache froze, Patrick Mahomes’ helmet cracked and the Chiefs jumped to a 10-0 lead early and won easily.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to an NFL -best 15-2 record this season. The Chiefs' proficiency during the regular season affords them a bye in the opening round of the playoffs, and for Mahomes and his family, the bye week will be extra special.

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?

The playoffs feature an intriguing QB mix, from vets to rooks, comeback kids, Super Bowl winners and losers, all trying to topple the king.

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.
