Mahomes leads the Chiefs to their fourth win

“We didn’t play that well, but our defense was good and kept us in the game,” said Mahomes, who totaled 245 yards passing. He is “proud of the boys. “This could have gone in a different direction, but they supported each other,” said coach Andy Reid, praising his team.

Tight end Travis Kelce in particular experienced an upswing after a weak start to the season. The 34-year-old caught seven passes for 89 yards. Pop titan Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, who wasn’t in the stadium, even set a Chiefs record: He surpassed the previous record set by Tony Gonzalez, who caught a total of 916 passes for Kansas City.

However, Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice suffered a serious knee injury. Mahomes had thrown an interception. While trying to stop the Chargers, the quarterback injured his own teammate. Things “don’t look good at all,” Reid said.

The Chiefs are aiming for the “three-peat” this season: Kansas can become the first team to win the title in the US professional league three times in a row.
