NFL fans roasted Cris Collinsworth for trying to argue that Patrick Mahomes is underrated

The 2023 NFL season is here, and Cris Collinsworth is back with another head-scratching piece of commentary from the NBC broadcast booth.

While discussing the Kansas City Chiefs missing guys like Travis Kelce and Chris Jones in the lineup, Collinsworth tried to make a point about how Mahomes would still be able to carry his team in their absences.

Well, Collinsworth went so far as to indicate that the game would be what really makes America wake up to the fact that Mahomes is really good at football.

“I think America is about to find out how good he really is,” Collinsworth said on the broadcast ahead of Thursday night’s Chiefs home game against the Detroit Lions.

Uh… sure?

Patrick Mahomes: two-time Super Bowl winner, former league MVP, underrated NFL player ready to make himself known to the United States.

Okay, everyone who is even vaguely aware of what football is knows that Patrick Mahomes is really good at football.

He’s already one of the best quarterbacks of all time, and him winning a game while missing players would be just another reminder of that instead of some sort of grand awakening for the public consciousness.

As you could imagine, NFL fans poked some fun at Collinsworth for very awkwardly stating the obvious.
