Reigning Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes is the face of the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs superstar has had a phenomenal run in his still-young NFL career. He has won three Super Bowls, three Super Bowl MVP awards, two regular-season MVP awards and many other important accolades.
Mahomes enters the 2024 NFL season aiming to be the first quarterback in history to lead his side to three consecutive Super Bowl victories.
Patrick Mahomes will play in the Kansas City Chiefs' second preseason game of the year against the Detroit Lions. According to Marca, Andy Reid has stated that all Chiefs starters, including Mahomes, will play the entire first half of the matchup.
It is important to note that Reid is fond of playing his starters in preseason games, unlike many of his coaching contemporaries. Mahomes was featured in Game 1 of the preseason versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.
