Tipping Points

The Chiefs are at once the most exciting and least exciting team in football. They are most exciting because Patrick Mahomes routinely makes plays no other quarterback can make. But they are least exciting because it takes a Herculean defensive effort to hold him to fewer than 350 passing yards and three passing touchdowns, something the Jaguars, Raiders, and Ravens all failed to day in the first three weeks of this season. The Lions did both on Sunday, but they still couldn't hold Kansas City to fewer than 30 points. And that is the recipe for the Game of the Week.
