As the Kansas City Chiefs advanced to 6-0 for the season on October 20, Patrick Mahomes quietly took aim at his detractors by claiming that his non-athletic frame enabled him to score the game-winning touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers.
In a repeat of Super Bowl LVIII, the quarterback had a difficult day at Levi’s Stadium and depended on the defense to provide him with the platform he needed to lead his team to a 28-18 victory in Week 7.
Even though he wasn’t feeling well, he nevertheless saved his team.
Especially when he ran through a defender to score their third touchdown of the game from one yard with 14:13 remaining in the fourth quarter. Mahomes said : “I wasn’t even really trying to run him over,” . “I was just trying to get in the end zone.
“I’m a little heavy. I got some weight to me and ended up getting in there.”
Mecole Hardman made sure the 49ers had no chance of winning when he rushed for 18 yards and increased the margin to 28-12 almost 11 minutes after Mahomes’ touchdown, which had raised the score to 21-12.
Then, with a minute remaining, Brock Purdy, the quarterback for the Californian squad, managed to scurry for a one-yard touchdown, just like Mahomes, but it wasn’t enough in the end.
