Patrick Mahomes' Pro Bowl Snub Sparks Outrage
January 2, 2025 at 2:23 PM
The Pro Bowl roster for 2025 sparked heated debate with the exclusion of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, despite leading his team to a 15-1 record and aiming for a historic Super Bowl three-peat. Critics argue that Mahomes' stats, supported by the QB+ metric, did not measure up to other NFL quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow. However, fans highlight his leadership and success under challenging circumstances, including 16 injured teammates. The omission of Mahomes and Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie led many to question the Pro Bowl voting system. While Mahomes may serve as an alternate, his focus remains on Thursday Night Football and securing Super Bowl tickets for another championship run.
