Patrick Mahomes Made Key Plays To Keep Kansas City Chiefs Alive
Kansas City did not have a easy night. Indianapolis Colts stayed with Kansas City Chiefs throughout regulation and the score was tied 27-27 after four quarters.
Indianapolis had a chance to take lead in extra time. A reviewed fumble ruling gave Colts another chance while they settled for a field goal instead of going for a touchdown on fourth down.
Patrick Mahomes then helped Kansas City Chiefs move into scoring range.
“NEVER A DOUBT. Patrick freaking Mahomes, 281 days after tearing his ACL, he throws for 381 yards & looks all the way back. 2-0 & will only get better on both sides of the ball,” Wright wrote.
Patrick Mahomes admitted the Chiefs were far from perfect.
“It wasn't always pretty. There were times we didn't execute at a high level. But guys continued to fight and continued to push and we found a way at the end,” Mahomes said.
That was enough to keep Kansas City unbeaten and give Mahomes another memorable night.
