Bars that were set so high across the NFL last season are not being reached in 2019. And with award winners coming up short of expectations, teams they’re with are naturally suffering. In the case of Patrick Mahomes, who last season became just the second quarterback ever to throw for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns, injuries are to blame. At 7-4, the Chiefs have already lost the same number of games they did all last season. As the defensive rookie of the year last year, Darius Leonard led the NFL with 163 tackles in 2018.
