EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Between Taylor Swift’s high-security entrance and exit, and still-on-crutches Aaron Rodgers’ golf cart rides through the stadium tunnel, the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets played a football game.
The Chiefs, as Vegas expected, won.
Less expected: the stretch of football when highly criticized Jets quarterback Zach Wilson actually outplayed two-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, who threw two interceptions on the night.
Mahomes dialed up his dual threat on the Chiefs’ final drive to seal a 23-20 victory. But even he knew his team erred and narrowly avoided their second loss of the season as the Jets rallied from a 17-0 deficit to tie the game at 20 in the third quarter.
