Dallas and Buffalo and Kansas City were their explosive selves again the Packers got Aaron Rodgers back and joyfully found they might not be wholly dependent on him this year the Colts got to. The earth seems back on its axis, mostly. Just not in his head, which is all that matters. “I mean,” he said, “I don’t know if there was ever doubt.” Mahomes: 70 percent passing, 406 yards, five TDs, no interceptions. Just like the old days. Kansas City 41, Las Vegas 14. Just like the old days. In Vegas, it all started with a left-handed pass on his first throw of the game, continued with a basketball pass to Tyreek Hill for a touchdown, and lasted deep into the second half with one of those don’t-throw-it-don’t-throw-it-hey-what-a-great-throw touchdown heaves to running back Darrel Williams.

I mean, whenever you’re not having the success that you’re used to having, all you can do is come to practice and have a better day than you did the day before. “The last few weeks,” Mahomes said after playing like Mahomes again Sunday night in Kansas City’s 41-14 rout of the reeling Raiders, “motivated me more to come in and work and practice even better.
