Who Should I Start? Deshaun Watson or Patrick Mahomes

Friday, January 10, 12:21 PM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) suffered a re-tear of his Achilles tendon and had another surgery on Thursday to fix it, according to sources informed of the situation. The re-tear comes less than three months after his original tear, and Watson could now miss the entire 2025 season. General manager Andrew Berry announced on Monday that Watson had suffered a setback in his rehab, but now we know that it's a pretty serious setback. Even if Watson can make it back at some point this year, there's an even bigger question about how he would perform after dual Achilles injuries. Since the Browns acquired Watson, he's played in just 19 of a possible 51 regular-season games due to injury and suspension -- he was suspended 11 games in 2022 following allegations of sexual misconduct. If he misses all of 2025, he will have played in just 19 of a possible 85 regular-season games.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 18 of 26 pass attempts (69%) for 245 yards and a touchdown in the 32-29 AFC Championship win over the Buffalo Bills. Mahomes also rushed 11 times for 43 yards and two touchdowns. The veteran quarterback completed a 23-yard pass to Xavier Worthy with a little over four minutes left in the fourth quarter to set up first-and-goal. The Chiefs then went on to kick the go-ahead field goal to end that drive. The Kansas City defense did their part, but Mahomes was instrumental on the ground in this crucial win. The 29-year-old will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024-2025 Super Bowl. Kansas City will have two weeks to prepare for the 2023 Super Bowl rematch. Mahomes and the Chiefs will look to become the first NFL team ever to complete a three-peat.
