PATRICK Mahomes received a shocking snub from a prestigious honor after his Madden 26 rating was revealed.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>‘ star quarterback has held the video game honor in the past few seasons.<\/p>\n

Mahomes<\/a> put together a stellar season in 2024, finishing the regular season with 3,928 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.<\/p>\n

He also led the Chiefs to a third consecutive Super Bowl appearance before losing to the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, 40-22.<\/p>\n

So when EA Sports’ Madden 26 released the rating of the league’s players on Wednesday, fans expected the two-time NFL<\/a> MVP Mahomes to be part of the “99 Club.”<\/p>\n

The “99 Club” refers to an elite group of players who receive the highest possible rating of 99 in the video game.<\/p>\n

But EA’s rating team handed the three-time Super Bowl MVP a 95 overall rating, which is the fourth among quarterbacks.<\/p>\n

It was revealed that Mahomes ranks behind Josh Allen<\/a> and Lamar Jackson<\/a>, both of whom have a 99 rating, and Joe Burrow<\/a> (97).<\/p>\n

NFL fans were quick to share their grievances with Mahomes’ Madden ranking.<\/p>\n

“Mahomes at 4 is wild,” one wrote.<\/p>\n

“What a joke of a list ranking Mahomes fourth,” another commented.<\/p>\n

“Mahomes disrespect is crazy,” a third added.<\/p>\n

“He was in the Super Bowl against a super team, and he’s still not a 99?” a fourth asked.<\/p>\n

Mahomes had been given a 99 rating in the two years.<\/p>\n

He has also been part of the “99 club” in three of the last four years.<\/p>\n

Still, fans’ belief that Mahomes’ 95 rating is a snub just shows how high the standard is for the 29-year-old.<\/p>\n

Mahomes is still widely considered the best quarterback in the league.<\/p>\n

A recent poll by ESPN revealed Mahomes to be the top quarterback<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He received 60 percent of the first-place votes.<\/p>\n

But Madden ranked Mahomes lower than the 2024 MVP Allen, two-time MVP Jackson, and 2024 Comeback Player of the Year Burrow.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting, however, that Allen, Jackson, and Burrow had relatively better seasons than Mahomes and all received more votes in the 2024-25 NFL AP MVP voting.<\/p>\n
