Chiefs Rebound to .500 as Mahomes Claims AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Mahomes’ four-touchdown rebound, buoyed by Xavier Worthy’s return, earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors.

Overview

  • Kansas City routed Baltimore 37-20 in Week 4, with Patrick Mahomes going 25-of-37 for 270 yards and four touchdowns and becoming the youngest and fastest player to reach 250 career TD passes, according to the team.
  • Xavier Worthy’s first full game back unlocked the offense with five catches for 83 yards and two rushes for 38 yards, drawing praise from teammates for the space his speed created.
  • The Chiefs’ defense held the NFL’s top-scoring Ravens to 20 points as Lamar Jackson was limited to 147 passing yards and one TD, and rookie CB Nohl Williams earned a 90.3 PFF grade, the highest on the team.
  • Now 2-2, Kansas City visits the 3-1 Jaguars on Monday night, facing a defense that has piled up takeaways, while ESPN reports edge rusher Travon Walker is week-to-week and could miss the game.
  • WR Rashee Rice is slated to return from his six-game suspension in Week 7 against the Raiders, with expectations he will further bolster the passing attack.
