Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs had a tough time moving the ball on Sunday night. It was strange to see so many of their drives end in punts.
But if you don't put the Chiefs away, Mahomes will eventually hunt you down. That's what happened Sunday night, when his legs carried the team on a game-tying scoring drive when nothing else was working, and then he finished the job in overtime.
The Chiefs weren't great on Sunday. But they have Mahomes. That's the biggest reason they've been good the past few seasons, and the biggest reason they'll be good for years to come. He tips the field in Kansas City's favor. That's why they escaped with a win on Sunday night.The Chiefs were a two-touchdown favorite by kickoff. The Titans had to start rookie quarterback Malik Willis because Ryan Tannehill isn't ready yet off an ankle injury.
Then the game flipped. Derrick Henry got rolling. He had a nifty 56-yard run that set up one of his two first-half scores. Kansas City stopped moving the ball. The Titans took a 14-9 lead into halftime. Nobody saw that coming, especially after the Chiefs took an early lead. The Titans kept everything in front of them. Often Mahomes had time but nothing open in front of him. Then he'd hold the ball too long and have to scramble. The Chiefs were totally shut out in the third quarter. That's a rarity for them, especially at home.
