Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce help Chiefs rally for 17-10 win over Chargers
Patrick Mahomes passed for 245 yards and a touchdown while rediscovering his connection with Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs rallied from an early 10-point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 17-10
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes has run through the gamut of situations in his 100 regular-season starts.
Even though the Kansas City Chiefs were down 10-0 to the Los Angeles Chargers a little more than 11 minutes into Sunday's game, Mahomes knew there was plenty of time to bounce back.
On a day he passed for 245 yards and a touchdown while rediscovering his connection with Travis Kelce, Mahomes singled out his defense as the pivotal reason the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs rallied for a 17-10 victory and are 4-0 for the first time since 2020.
“We weren’t playing good. but I think the best thing is, no one talks about it and they start to now, but our defense is really good,” said Mahomes, who completed 19 of 29 passes. “They know how to shut the door and keep us in games. Then they believe that the offense is going to find a way to score enough points at the end.”
