Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes continues to rack up the in-season accolades. The latest AFC Offensive Player of the Week award comes on the back of one of the team's best offensive performances of the 2023 NFL season.
Mahomes completed 27 passes on 34 targets for 298 yards and two touchdowns against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. He had a 122.8 passer rating while leading the team to a comeback victory from a 14-point deficit.
This marked Mahomes' 66th career game with two or more touchdown passes, which is the most ever by a player in the first seven seasons.
This is the first time this season that Mahomes has earned AFC Conference weekly honors. It's the 10th career Offensive Player of the Week honor for Mahomes. Here's a look at the previous times that he's won weekly honors:

2020 – Week 3, Week 6, & Week 8
2021 – Week 1 & Week 10
2022 – Week 1 & Week 4
