Patrick Mahomes, was notably snubbed from the 2025 Pro Bowl roster, marking the first time since he became the team’s starter in 2018 that he wasn’t selected.

Several factors contributed to Mahomes’ exclusion from the Pro Bowl. Firstly, the AFC quarterbacks selected over him were Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals, and Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens. These quarterbacks have had impressive seasons, with Allen being chosen as the starter.

Mahomes’ statistics this season, while still strong, were not as dominant as in previous years. He is set to finish the season with 3,928 passing yards and 26 touchdowns, which are his lowest totals since becoming the starter. Additionally, he threw 11 interceptions, which, although not a high number, is tied for his lowest mark since 2020. Despite these numbers, Mahomes posted the highest completion percentage of his career at 67.5%.

The Chiefs resting players for the playoffs

Another factor could be the Chiefs’ strategy of resting key players, including Mahomes, in the final week of the regular season due to minor injuries and their secured top seed in the AFC playoffs. This decision might have influenced the Pro Bowl selection committee’s choices.

Despite this, Mahomes remains a pivotal player for the Chiefs as they aim for another Super Bowl run. This snub might even serve as extra motivation for him and his team in the playoffs.
