Sports history in Black: Patrick Mahomes over came doubts from NFL fans

Going into 2018, many were not sure what to make of new Kansas City starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Many knew he was talented, but there was doubt about the first-year starter who was replacing veteran starter Alex Smith. Mahomes dispelled any doubts when he threw for six touchdowns on Sept. 16, for a 42-37 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With these six touchdowns, Mahomes set a NFL record on the road, accumulating 10 touchdown passes in the first two weeks of the season.
