Chiefs Need More Than Patrick Mahomes Hero Ball to Rule AFC, Contend for Super Bowl

The NFL is the ultimate results-driven business. At the end of Sunday night's matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets, the Chiefs had 23 points and the Jets had 20. Four weeks into the season, the reigning Super Bowl champions are 3-1 and sit where they seemingly always do—atop the AFC West.

However, while the Chiefs may have gotten the win, there's real reason for concern in Chiefs kingdom. Some patented Patrick Mahomes heroics may have salted the game away, but this is honestly a game the Chiefs shouldn't need to salt. It should have been the cakewalk it appeared it was going to be when Kansas City raced out to a 17-0 first-quarter lead.
