Though Kansas City Chiefs fans expected their beloved team to win by more than a three-point margin in their Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets, the end result of the hotly-contested tilt was, ultimately, desirable.
Patrick Mahomes struggled, throwing two interceptions and several other passes that were nearly picked off. Isiah Pacheco led the way for Kansas City’s offense on the ground, gaining more than 100 rushing yards and scoring a touchdown that helped the Chiefs get out to an early 17-point lead.
Defensively, Chris Jones, Mike Edwards, and Drue Tranquill led the way to help contain the Jets’ resurgent offense.
While the game’s final score was certainly closer than most expected it would be, the Chiefs still managed to make highlight plays on both sides of the ball that were worthy of a revisit as fans conduct their post-mortems on Monday.
Check out all of Kansas City’s top plays below to re-live the Chiefs’ hard-fought Week 4 win over New York:
