Game Highlights
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was pivotal for the Chiefs, completing 29 of 46 passes for 352 yards and throwing one interception. His leadership was further complemented by running back Kareem Hunt, who rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries. Wide receiver Rashee Rice emerged as a standout performer in this matchup, recording eight receptions for 141 yards, including key catches that set up both the tying touchdown in regulation and the eventual game-winning field goal in overtime.
