The Minnesota Vikings received the ball first and could work their way past midfield before punting. The Kansas City Chiefs' first drive started on their own 11-yard line. Patrick Mahomes connected on quick passes to wide receivers Skyy Moore and Marques Valdez-Scanting — along with Isiah Pacheco's big 20-yard run, it moved the Chiefs past the 50.
The Vikings' defense could only hold the Chiefs to three points. Khyiris Tonga and Marcus Davenport sacked Mahomes on back-to-back plays to force the Chiefs to try and convert a third-and-30.
End of the first quarter: Chiefs 3, Vikings 0
Second quarter
Mahomes continued to stay perfect on pass completions as he connected with wide receiver Rashee Rice on a 19-yard play to put the Chiefs on the Vikings' 8-yard line.
