The Kansas City Chiefs beat the New York Jets 35-12 at home, improving to 6-2 and ending a losing run that began at the Seahawks. The Chiefs remain perfect at home at 4-0, compared with 2-2 on the road. The Jets are now 2-7 after the defeat.
Patrick Mahomes completed 23 of 31 passes for 242 yards and 2 touchdowns without an interception. That fits a season pattern, as the Chiefs commit 0.7 turnovers per game, 4th of 32. Kenneth Walker III gave the offense balance with 18 carries for 102 rushing yards and 1 touchdown.
The Chiefs trail only the 7-2 Broncos in the AFC West, ahead of the Raiders at 4-4 and the Chargers at 0-7. They hold the 5th seed in the AFC today. Before that slide, they won at the Raiders 30-27 and beat the Chargers 22-6 at home.
The defense allows 18.7 points per game, 4th of 32, while the offense ranks 20th of 32 in time of possession. Last season ended 6-11 without a playoff spot, so this team already matches that win total. Patrick Mahomes leads the offense with 1,795 passing yards, and Nick Bolton leads the defense with 102 tackles.
Next come trips to the 3-6 Falcons and the 6-1 Bills, with the 3-5 Cardinals visiting in between. The Falcons and Cardinals both have losing records, so those games look manageable, while the Bills present the hardest test. The Chiefs are in the playoff race, and 9 games remain to overtake the Broncos for the AFC West lead.
