The Patrick Mahomes Slander Is Getting Out of Control!

Sports Illustrated’s Matt Verderame joins Patrick Allen and Adam Best to break down the biggest Chiefs storylines heading into the 2026 season.

Is the AFC wide open for Kansas City? How absurd is Patrick Mahomes ranking 18th in the NFL Top 100? And is all the Mahomes disrespect about to fuel another championship run?

Plus, the guys discuss concerns surrounding Rashee Rice, why the Cyrus Allen hype looks legitimate, Kahlil Benson’s surprising rise and what Emmett Johnson showed against the Rams.

Then Patrick and Adam break down the Chiefs’ biggest preseason takeaways, including Brashard Smith, Harrison Butker and Matt Araiza.
