If you are not familiar with the website Pro Football Focus, it is an analytic website that focusses on advanced statistical analysis and offers weekly grades on the best performing teams and players.
It is an incredibly popular site, but also a controversial one because its grading scale sometimes seems to fly off the rails and not make any sense with its results. For example: Despite looking like a video-game quarterback in Week 1 and throwing five touchdowns in a blowout win, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was only graded out as the eighth-best quarterback in the league in Week 1 by PFF.
It was a grade that received mockery and criticism when it was revealed.
That mockery continued on Thursday night following the Chiefs' 27-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Mahomes ended his press conference on Thursday night by talking about a dropped interception that hit the ground and then dropped the mic on PFF as he walked away from the podium.

That is a dagger.
Mahomes was not quite as dominant as he was a week ago, but he was still outstanding for the most part and made some absolutely insane plays to help lead the Chiefs to a 2-0 start.
He ended up going 24-for-35 for 235 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. In two games this season he already has seven touchdowns to zero interceptions.
