Despite being stopped on his first two drives by interceptions for the first time in his career, three-time Super Bowl winner Mahomes completed 25-of-34 passes and revived the Chiefs after being tied 7-7 at halftime. “We just executed better,” said Mahomes of the second-half fightback. “They had more energy than we did starting the game off, their defense versus our offense. “We just had way more energy in the second half. We executed at a higher level, didn’t turn the ball over and our defense held strong.” Mahomes tosses his 3rd TD of the game!

Mahomes connected with tight end Travis Kelce, the fiance of singer Taylor Swift, on a 10-yard touchdown pass with 3:20 to play in the third quarter. It was a club record-tying 83rd career touchdown for Kelce, who matched a mark set by running back Priest Holmes. “That’s the true Chief of Chiefs,” Mahomes said of Kelce. “He’s the guy who was here before me, sets the culture. He’s the guy that is in the building early, is in the building late and is the leader of this team. “To be able to get him that record, tying it, let’s go out there and break it now.” Mahomes was intercepted to end his first two drives of a game for the first time in his career, Washington’s Bobby Wagner and Marshon Lattimore shutting down the Chiefs’ marches. Kansas City’s defenders silenced the Washington attack early as well, forcing two turnovers on downs and another on Mike Danna’s interception. Kareem Hunt’s one-yard touchdown run with 5:46 remaining in the second quarter gave the Chiefs a 7-0 lead. The Commanders, however, answered on an 11-yard Marcus Mariota touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin with 58 seconds remaining in the quarter to pull level 7-7 at halftime. Kansas City took the second-half kickoff and drove 80 yards in 4:48 as Mahomes flipped a two-yard touchdown pass to Hunt on fourth down and the Chiefs seized a 14-7 lead. After the touchdown toss to Kelce, Mahomes threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Rashee Rice with 7:52 remaining. – © AFP 2025 Viewcomments Send Tip or Correction Embed this post To embed this post, copy the code below on your site Email “Mahomes powers Chiefs over Commanders”.
