Oh it's 100% Pat. I don't know if he was a more accurate down the field thrower before but the last few years he absolutely has terrible long ball accuracy. And no, I wouldn't trade Pat for any other QB in the league ever. But we watched O'Connel hit deep throws with accuracy coming first game off IR That we rarely see Pat hit, and he did it many times in one game.

IT's def a massive weakness in the offense

He has to have earned more trust with Andy and Pat at this point. He's been coming through.

How great was it that he stepped up on 3rd and 10 for the big 14 yard catch. Five catches on six targets for 41 yards. They've integrated him into the intermediate game.

Yes. Another fantastic game for X, and fantastic that Patrick will trust him in that situation.

I initially thought maybe he didn't cleanly catch that ball going to the ground. Not sure we ever saw a replay, but they ran up and snapped it quick. Chiefs weren't waiting for a replay it appeared LMAO

It really seems to have clicked.

I’m guessing he has 1 huge game by the end of the regular season and ends up with like 650 yards and 6 or 7 TDs.

All in all, not a bad rookie season. Especially when you consider a few misfires between Mahomes and him that left a couple hundred more yards out there.

Next season should see a big jump. Give an entire offseason for Pat and him to work together

Just looked at that play again. DJ gave Mahomes just enough room to step up and make the throw. All the difference!

May have already started happening. Over the last 4 games he's gotten 18 receptions for 201 yards. That's a pretty decent year when you extrapolate it out to a 17 game season. Once they start connecting more frequently on the deep shots it's over.

Worthy is playing with much more confidence now.

He needs more targets.

He almost dropped it.

Last year Rashee Rice started heating up around this time with Mahomes last year and so is Mahomes.

Love that Worthy came back to the ball. I hated that MVS never did that.

Great play kid

I think worthy has unlimited potential. He is always open. He doesn’t seem to drop balls. Runs good routes. And of course has so much speed. When brown comes back, we are going to have one of the best receiving groups in the league. Now we need Mahomes to just start throwing like one of the best quarterbacks in the league. The fact that he isn’t takes nothing away from the reality that he is always able to do whatever is needed to win at the end. And his running skills are under emphasisized. He’s not flashy like Alan and Lamar, but he gets it done. now if he could only start getting rid of the ball and making good throws regularly within the three seconds that are the norm in the NFL.

I agree with a point another poster made that if Mahomes was hitting him better Worthy would likely be offensive rookie of the year. They would be using him even more and that would magnify his contribution.

I counted three 3rd downs that Worthy was not on the field. No surprise this is the result.

He should be on the field on every single 3rd down.

That's a tough one...probably coulda fit it in to JJSS but that's one that could go the other way pretty easy.

I'd say having that be a route ran by Worthy would be wiser.
