NFL: Bittersweet anniversary for superstar Mahomes

NFL: Bittersweet anniversary for superstar Mahomes

The Chiefs had to cope with a bitter loss in Inglewood, California. Pass receiver Rashee Rice suffered a serious knee injury in a collision with Mahomes as a result of an interception and could now miss the rest of the season. Rice is likely to have torn his cruciate ligament in his knee.

“I root for Rashee because he’s had a fantastic year. “We hope for the best,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. The Chiefs want to be the first football team in history to win the Super Bowl three times in a row, and they are off to a happy start, at least in terms of results.

The 29-year-old Mahomes scored a touchdown and threw for 245 yards against the Chargers. As in every game of the season so far, the two-time league MVP made at least one interception. “We didn’t play well, but our defense is really good,” said Mahomes, who worked his infamous “magic” on a 54-yard pass to rookie Xavier Worthy.

Travis Kelce also had a good game after the worst start to the season in his career. The tight end caught seven balls for a total of 89 yards. “I’m proud of our boys for keeping up so well.” “It could have been completely different, but the boys supported each other,” explained Reid. Like the Chiefs, the Minnesota Vikings are still undefeated, with a 31:29 away win against their rivals from Green Bay. On Sunday the Vikings will be in London and will face quarterback Sam Darnold’s former team, the New York Jets. Veteran star Aaron Rodgers’ team lost 9:10 at home to Denver.

Baltimore cracks Bills

However, the Buffalo Bills suffered their first defeat of the season with a 10:35 loss at the Baltimore Ravens. Running back Derrick Henry managed an 87-yard touchdown run on the first play of the game, setting a Ravens record for the 30-year-old. Quarterback Lamar Jackson threw two touchdowns in the second win of the season, and the playmaker ran into the end zone himself once.

The San Francisco 49ers returned to winning ways with a 30:13 win against the New England Patriots. The Cincinnati Bengals achieved their first complete success with a 34:23 win over the Carolina Panthers. The Jacksonville Jaguars went on to win, losing to the Houston Texans 20:24.

Old master Flacco leads “Indy” to victory

The Indianapolis Colts had previously celebrated their second win in the fourth game of the season. Austrian Bernhard Raimann’s team won 27:24 against the previously unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The Colts around the local offensive line player are always in the front, with a stronger second half making it even more exciting for the Steelers. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson had to end the game early due to a hip injury, veteran Joe Flacco (39) led “Indy” to victory with two touchdown passes.

The 39-year-old Joe Flacco ultimately led “Indy” to victory against the Steelers

It is unclear whether Richardson will be able to play for the still winless Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The 22-year-old watched the rest of the game against the Steelers on the sidelines in full gear. Star running back Jonathan Taylor also had to leave the field shortly before the end due to an ankle injury.
