1. Quarterback: Patrick Mahomes vs. Cleveland Browns

Patrick Mahomes should always be on your radar for a Top 10 attack option. Mahomes averages 315 passing yards and three touchdowns per game. Against a very poor Cleveland Browns defense that allow 414 total yards and 375 passing yards per game, Mahomes is a perfect fit to have another big game this Sunday.

When you have all the right pieces in place on an NFL offense everything just clicks. The Kansas City Chiefs were scrutinized for letting Alex Smith walk. Smith in his own right helped this team win games. Andy Reid knew what he had in Mahomes and wanted to show the world what the young man was capable of. Now that we all know every analyst around the country is calling Reid a quarterback whisperer.

The Cleveland Browns are as usual in full rebuild mode. After firing their head coach and offensive coordinator following the loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns look to be lost yet again for another season or two. There are some bright spots that fans can look forward to. But all in all this franchise has a long way to go to be real contenders.

Patrick Mahomes and his Kansas City Chiefs will have no issues heading into this matchup. Even if it is in Cleveland. This team and more importantly this quarterback has shown the venue and opponent doesn’t matter. This offense will chew you up an spit you out. Look for Mahomes to have a big game and live up to his name “Showtime.”

Prediction: 350 passing yards, 4 touchdowns
