The Kansas City Chiefs were in a New York state of mind on the road in Week 4 after defeating the Jets on Sunday night.
The Chiefs offense started hot in the first half but was almost grounded to a standstill by the aggressive Jets defense. Patrick Mahomes tossed two interceptions, and most of the production came from running back Isiah Pacheco’s career night.
On defense, Chris Jones and Mike Edwards managed to secure sacks against a very game Zach Wilson, who had a breakout performance. The unit held strong late in the fourth quarter, capitalizing on the young quarterback’s mistake and recovering a crucial fumble.
The Chiefs showed grit in a close road game, quieting analysts about their balance on offense, with the running game leading the way to victory over a resilient Jets squad.
Here’s a look at how the stock is trending for some players after the Week 4 victory at MetLife Stadium:
Stock Up: Isiah Pacheco
On a rare day that Patrick Mahomes had more interceptions than touchdown passes, it was the running game led by Pacheco that made the difference. The New Jersey native finished Sunday night’s homecoming with 20 carries for 115 yards and a touchdown.
Stock Up: Travis Kelce
Kelce led the way receiving with six catches for 60 yards, not disappointing his special guest, Taylor Swift in attendance for the second consecutive week.
Stock Up: Chris Jones
Jones has secured a sack in his three games this season after missing so much time due to his holdout. He is constantly proving his worth as one of the defensive linemen in football today.
Stock Up: Harrison Butker
Butker was solid and reliable, as the Chiefs offense couldn’t cash in on all their red-zone opportunities. The veteran kicker connected on all three of his field goal attempts as Kansas City left New York with a point victory.
Stock Down: Jawaan Taylor
Another week of penalties is plaguing Taylor’s 2023 season, as he was hit with multiple infractions. Taylor has been penalized in every game so far this season and remains under heavy surveillance by officials.
