Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

The article uses sensationalism by stating that Mahomes' passing numbers are considered low, without providing context or comparison to other quarterbacks.

These numbers -- along with a 92.0 passer rating -- are considered low for Mahomes as he's still finding ways for the to win football games despite not having to play at an MVP level every week.

Provide context by comparing Mahomes' passing numbers to other quarterbacks in the league.

Cherry-picking data

The article cherry-picks data by focusing on Mahomes' increased rushing yards without mentioning other aspects of his performance.

The rushing yards average (38.5) easily surpasses Mahomes' previous career-high of 22.4 rushing yards per game, set in the 2021 season. Mahomes has never rushed for more than 381 yards in a season, but is on pace to shatter that mark.

Provide a more comprehensive analysis of Mahomes' overall performance, including passing statistics and other contributions to the team.

Omission of key information

The article omits key information by not discussing the reasons behind the Chiefs' passing game not being as strong as in previous years.

With the passing game not as strong as in years past, Mahomes has turned to his legs to generate yards for the Chiefs.

Include an explanation or analysis of the factors contributing to the Chiefs' weaker passing game.
