- Patrick Mahomes has been among the most accurate QBs in the NFL this year with an impressive 66.5% Completion%, checking in at the 76th percentile.
Cons

- Opposing QBs have averaged 32.1 pass attempts per game against the Los Angeles Rams defense this year: 10th-least in the league.
- The Los Angeles Rams pass defense has shown good efficiency this year, yielding 7.24 yards-per-target: the 7th-least in the NFL.
- The Los Angeles Rams pass rush has gotten pressure on opposing quarterbacks a mere 2.37 seconds after the snap (on average), grading out as the 4th-fastest in the league since the start of last season.
- The Kansas City Chiefs have faced a stacked the box on just 9.3% of their plays since the start of last season, least in the NFL. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
