The Kansas City Chiefs came hot of the gate and pulled out a 41-31 win at Tampa Bay on Sunday night. The Buccaneers fumbled the opening kickoff and the Chiefs took advantage of the short field. Two plays later Patrick Mahomes found Travis Kelce for a 16-yard touchdown pass to put the Chiefs up immediately. The Kansas City Offense kept clicking and it was a 28-17 lead at half.

The Chiefs kept enough going in the second half to preserve the lead and the win. Patrick Mahomes finished 23-27 passing for 249 yards and 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. Mahomes became the quickest to reach 20,000 yards passing in NFL history during the win. Travis Kelce hauled in 9 catches for 92 yards and a touchdown. Kelce passed Rob Gronkowski for 5th on the NFL’s all-time receiving yard list for tight ends.

The Chiefs improved to 3-1 overall and the Buccaneers fall to 2-2. Next up for the Chiefs is a Monday Night Football game at home against the Las Vegas Raiders on the 10th.
