The game of Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes once again lived up to expectations, he who collected a touchdown pass, in addition to an aerial harvest of 306 yards thanks to 30 completed passes in 40 attempts.
However, the same cannot be said for his opposite number at the Broncos (1-5) Russell Wilson. The first half was catastrophic for the latter, being the victim of three sacks and an interception. He recovered after the locker room, feeding Courtland Sutton 11 yards for Denver’s only touchdown.
Wilson finished the game with 13 completions on 22 attempts for 95 yards.
The Chiefs will host the Los Angeles Chargers on October 22. As for the Broncos, they will host the Green Bay Packers on the same day, and will at the same time try to stop a streak of two losses in a row.
