What is QB Patrick Mahomes record against the Denver Broncos?
Week 17 of the 2017 NFL season, quarterback Patrick Mahomes made his first career start in the NFL. The Chiefs had already clinched a playoff berth and decided to rest starting quarterback Alex Smith before the playoffs began.
Mahomes had a solid start in his NFL debut and was pulled as the Chiefs had a significant lead.
But the Broncos tied the game and Mahomes was put back in the game and had the first clutch performance of his career as he led the Chiefs down the field to victory.

Patrick Mahomes looks to further separate the Chiefs from the rest of the AFC West
Mahomes' success against fellow AFC West teams is no secret. Despite an early-season loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have been nearly unstoppable against AFC West teams recently.
Patrick Mahomes has thrown just three interceptions against the Broncos in those seven games, which has been a struggle for Mahomes this season. Mahomes has thrown 11 interceptions this season, which is uncharacteristic for the younger quarterback and former NFL MVP.
In recent weeks, his number of turnovers has gone down and he has shown glimpses of his old self. Sunday night's prime-time matchup against the Denver Broncos is the first of the season.
Both teams will meet again in Week 18.
While the Kansas City Chiefs have found their way back to the top of the AFC West with a 7-4 record, the rest of the division is tied with a 6-5 record.
If the Broncos are able to pull off a win over the Chiefs, the AFC West will get even more chaotic.
