This probably isn’t really the case, but it sure felt like the Kansas City Chiefs learned from scoring too fast on their last drive last week on their first drive this week.
After the Chiefs defense forced a three-and-out to start the game, quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ first drive this week was slow and methodical, totaling 10 plays for 95 yards in five minutes and 18 seconds.
The drive heavily featured wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who had two catches for 27 yards, as well as two rushes for 29 yards and two catches for 19 yards.
Hunt showed how elusive he can be on this second-and-10 play for 21 yards.
It's gonna take more than that to stop Kareem Hunt

Hunt added a second score in the second quarter. Yes, that’s Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict missing the tackle.
