The Kansas City Chiefs were able to pull off a 27-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, despite the absence of star tight end Travis Kelce due to an ankle injury. The Chiefs were led by their star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who threw for two touchdowns and ran for another.
Mahomes was able to make up for the loss of Kelce, as he threw for 249 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, which proved to be the game-winning score. Mahomes was able to spread the ball around, completing passes to seven different receivers.
The Chiefs defense was also able to step up in Kelce’s absence, holding the Vikings to just 20 points. They were able to limit Minnesota’s passing attack, as Kirk Cousins was only able to throw for 220 yards and one touchdown. The Chiefs also forced two turnovers, which proved to be crucial in the victory.
The win was a big one for the Chiefs, as it kept them atop the AFC West standings. It was also a testament to Mahomes’ ability to lead the team in tough situations. Despite the loss of Kelce, Mahomes was able to rally the team and lead them to victory.
The Chiefs will now look ahead to their next game against the Denver Broncos. They will be hoping that Kelce can return from his ankle injury in time for the game. If he is unable to play, then Mahomes will once again have to lead the team to victory. Either way, it looks like the Chiefs are in good hands with Mahomes at the helm.
