NFL fans' shock reaction after Patrick Mahomes fails to make Pro Bowl for first time ever as Chiefs starter
Share:
Patrick Mahomes has been left out of the Pro Bowl for the very first time as starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs - but fans aren't surprised by his omission. Despite going 15-1 this season as he hunts down an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl, Mahomes has failed to make it onto the AFC roster for the first time since becoming Kansas City's starter back in 2018.

Instead, Baltimore's Lamar Jackson, Buffalo's Josh Allen and Cincinnati's Joe Burrow have been named as the AFC quarterbacks for the annual NFL event, which pits the best players from each conference against one another in a showcase game. Yet while he remains the biggest name in the league, and still stands a strong chance of pulling off the 'three-peat', Mahomes' numbers have dipped so far in 2024.

The 29-year-old is on course to finish with the lowest passing yards of his career as Chiefs starter with 3,928, while also throwing his lowest amount of touchdowns with 26. As a result, the majority of fans are in agreement with his Pro Bowl snub, especially given Jackson, Allen and Burrow - the three leading MVP candidates in many people's eyes - have been in such good form this season.
