The Kansas City Chiefs extended their season record to 9-1 with a 26-14 victory against the Arizona Cardinals. Patrick Mahomes broke Len Dawson’s single-season passing touchdown record, but otherwise looked mortal for the first time this season. Still — with key plays in critical moments from the Chiefs defense — Kansas City came away with a two-score victory.
After losing their first coin toss of the season, the Chiefs started the game on offense for the first time in 2018 — but otherwise stayed on the normal script. Starting at their own 25 after a 15-yard kickoff return by Tremon Smith, Patrick Mahomes found a wide-open Tyreek Hill with a deep pass good for a 38-yard gain.
