Three Stars

1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

When it came time for a big play, the Chiefs had one formula, and that was to get the ball into Travis Kelce’s hands. Already an elite player in the league, Kelce is downright dominating in 2018, and on Sunday, he hauled in 12 catches for 168 yards and two huge touchdowns.

2. Jared Cook, Oakland Raiders

Not to be outdone by his counterpart, Travis Kelce, on Sunday, Raiders tight end Jared Cook showed why he should be headed to the Pro Bowl as well this season. Cook once again was a star in the Raiders offense, catching seven balls for 100 yards, while finding the end zone once.

3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

The first-year starter continued to dominate the NFL on Sunday, tossing four touchdowns against zero interceptions against the Raiders. Mahomes has now thrown for over 40 touchdowns in 2018, and if he continues his pace, he could be in for one of the better statistical seasons in NFL history. By the way, he is only 23 years old.
