Another impressive aspect of his play against the Raiders was the fact that his passes didn’t get intercepted even once by the Raiders defense. His performance against the Raiders was a stark improvement from his week 9 display against the Packers, where he threw a career-low 166 yards. Here’s hoping that Mahomes gets back on track for the rest of the season!
