The Dec. 21 matchup against the Tennessee Titans will mark Minshew's first start for the Chiefs.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes went to Texas to have his knee surgery on Monday, but he's due back in Kansas City at the end of the week.

The routine commences at 6 a.m., a tad earlier some days, Patrick Mahomes walking into the Chiefs facility with a backpack strapped over his shoulder. He’s always preferred and followed a regimented schedule — every minute of the workday accounted for — and he’s spent the past nine years fine-tuning his own.

Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes have been rivals for many seasons, but Colin Cowherd sys that Allen has surpassed Mahomes as the best QB in the NFL over the past two seasons.

Mahomes' disappointing season could open the door to a Tier 2 vote (or a few). Who else has over or underperformed expectations in 2025?
