Is Patrick Mahomes playing tonight against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5?

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are off to a great start in the season despite being doubted from the begining. Following their win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, they are now 3-1 and top of the AFC West.

In Week 5, the Chiefs will face their division rivals, the Las Vegas Raiders, on Monday Night Football at Arrowhead Stadium. The good news for Chiefs fans is that their quarterback is fully healthy to play against the Raiders.

Patrick Mahomes is making a strong case for the MVP Award this season. If he continues the way he plays and wins games with his team, there is no doubt he'll win the second MVP award of his young NFL career.

Going against a tough Buccaneers defense, Mahomes had a great performance and completely dominated them. In Week 4, Mahomes threw 23/37 passes for 249 yards and had three touchdown passes along with an unfortunate interception.

So far this season, Mahomes has thrown for 1,106 yards along with 11 touchdowns and two interceptions. Despite losing Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins, Mahomes' output has been tremendous, and he has been able to shut down his critics.
