Mahomes' QB Power Ranking Position Revealed Ahead of Week 13

In this story:
The Kansas City Chiefs have one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League in Patrick Mahomes, and he displayed that in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts. Collecting over 350 passing yards in the victory, Mahomes proves to be Mr. Reliable once more for this franchise.
However, even with the Chiefs' thrilling overtime victory against the Colts, Mahomes had things he could work on. He tossed an interception for the fourth straight game in a row and didn't have a touchdown pass in the game. Those things might not seem like a lot, but they are.
Pro Football Network created it's Week 13 Quarterback Power Rankings for every franchise's quarterback. Some deserve their placements and others could be highly debated. But when it comes to Mahomes missing the Top 10, sitting in spot 11, there's a real arguement that could be made.
Reasoning:
- "As one could expect out of the three-time Super Bowl champion, Mahomes has been nails under duress this season. His EPA per dropback when pressured is the highest in the NFL, and he leads the league with 270.6 passing yards per game. His completion percentage is below the league average this year, but it’s been a strong campaign altogether," Jacob Infante wrote.

The Top 10 sitting ahead of Mahomes ranks as followed:
10. Mac Jones, San Francisco 49ers
9. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
8. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
7. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (Chiefs' Thanksgiving Day opponent)

6. Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks
5. Daniel Jones, Indianapolis Colts (who the Chiefs just beat)
4. Brock Purdy, San Fransisco 49ers
3. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

2. Drake Maye, New England Patriots
1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Of those in the Top 10, Mahomes sits behind one in passing yards this season (Maye), behind four in touchdown passes (Stafford, Prescott, Maye, and Darnold) and two in QBR (Prescott and Maye). Safe to say that there could be a case made for Mahomes to be one or two spots higher than where he currently ranks.

Should Mahomes and the Chiefs find a way to get a victory this Thanksgiving against the Dallas Cowboys, Mahomes' ranking should easily jump ahead in next week's power rankings.
At the end of the day, a case can easily be made for Mahomes to be in the Top 10 right now, not having him have to prove himself more in Week 12
