Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Hypes Xavier Worthy: WR's 'Talent is Through the Roof'

The connection between Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Xavier Worthy appears to be growing.

The rookie receiver had seven catches for 65 yards and a touchdown in Kansas City's 27-19 win over the Houston Texans. Following the game, Mahomes praised Worthy's consistent improvement and immense talent.

Worthy is now up to 51 catches for 559 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games, also adding three touchdowns on the ground. This was his strongest performance since Week 4 and he is second on the team in receiving yards.

He was a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and notably set the 40-yard dash record at the NFL Combine. He joined a Chiefs team that has had a prolific offense since Mahomes entered the league and it looks like Worthy is slowly integrating himself into the passing game.

Mahomes finished the game 28-of-41 for 260 yards and a touchdown. He has thrown for 3,348 yards with 22 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 2024. Kansas City improved to 14-1 and are seeking a third consecutive Super Bowl and the fifth in franchise history.
