Kansas City is sitting pretty at 3-0 after a 24-10 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, but deciding who gets the game ball is stirring up a real debate among the fans.
Game Ball Gridlock
The folks at Arrowhead Pride asked who earned the single game ball, and while the majority of the community is voting for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, it’s not a slam dunk. Mahomes was one of the poll options, alongside running back Kenneth Walker, tight end Travis Kelce, and wide receiver Rashee Rice.
Defense Stepped Up, Or Did Anyone?
But not everyone thinks an offensive player deserves it. User 78Bell wrote in linebacker Nick Bolton, who led the team with eight solo tackles, one for loss, and a pass defended. As Atypical Vagabond put it, the defense “did hold the Dolphins to 10 points. I will take that from our Defense every week.” Still, the poll generated some tough talk. AndyReidsmustache_ questioned Rice as an option, saying he “didn’t do a whole hell of a lot other than miss an easy catch that turned into an INT.” KSKidnCO felt “no one stood out” at all. Even CPJC “voted half heartedly for Mahomes,” figuring it was just “a good team win, I guess!”
The Final Buzzer Debate
So, after the dust settled, the call for a single game ball from Week 3 is proving tougher than the 24-10 score suggests. Is it the star QB, a defensive standout, or a testament to a collective victory where no one truly shined?
