The reigning champions continue to win games behind a defense that keeps them afloat, despite quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy both struggling in a much more defensive tussle than their Super Bowl matchup in February.
Josh Allen, who celebrated a century of starts for the Buffalo Bills, and Jared Goff both put on outstanding quarterback performances as the Minnesota Vikings lost their undefeated record to divisional rivals Detroit.
Green Bay defeated the Houston Texans in a close game thanks to a late kick, and Saquon Barkley came back to New York to taunt the Giants.
Despite the fact that Mahomes has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns this season, the Chiefs defeated San Francisco 28–18 thanks to four running scores and increased defensive prowess.
With Mahomes creating more plays with his legs than his arms, the Chiefs are the tenth Super Bowl winners to begin the season undefeated.
