The Kansas City Chiefs defeat the New Orleans Saints

The Kansas City Chiefs continue to be in top shape on their mission to defend their NFL title. The Super Bowl champion around star quarterback Patrick Mahomes also won his fifth game of the season in the US Football League 26:13 against the New Orleans Saints. Mahomes didn’t have to reach his performance limits.

The playmaker threw for 331 yards and no touchdowns, and kicker Harrison Butker became the match winner with four converted field goals. Tight end Travis Kelce impressed after a weak start to the season with nine caught passes for 70 yards. Pop star Taylor Swift supported her friends from the VIP box at Arrowhead Stadium.

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, meanwhile, had 185 yards and two touchdowns and also had to accept a pick. With just over nine minutes left in the final quarter, he had to leave the field with a torso injury.

Besides the Chiefs, only the Minnesota Vikings are undefeated this season. The Chiefs are aiming for the “three-peat”: Kansas City can become the first team to win the NFL title three times in a row.
