ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- A week after he learned he was the fourth-rated quarterback in Madden NFL 26, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes chose to give a diplomatic response to the popular video game's decision despite leading his teammates to the Super Bowl the past three seasons.

Mahomes is rated 95 in the upcoming game, behind a trio of quarterbacks: Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, and Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals. Allen and Jackson both hold the highest possible rating of 99, while Burrow is rated at 97.
