The last seconds of the game saw the Kansas City Chiefs emerge victorious. The formidable defense of the San Francisco 49ers crushed its opponent. And September saw the Dallas Cowboys get off to a strong start.
Once the inaugural week of the season has passed, which team leads the league?
If Patrick Mahomes had worn a whiter shoe instead of a smaller one, the Chiefs’ chances of winning their home opener against the Baltimore Ravens might have been different.
Even though the focus was on Isaiah Likely narrowly missing the field goal on a touchdown play that could have tied the game or even won it with a two-point conversion on the final play, it’s obvious that Patrick Mahomes may have his best weapons in a few years as they attempt to win three straight Super Bowls. Isiah Pacheco is running hard as usual, Xavier Worthy scored twice on his first three NFL touches, and Rashee Rice was a go-to. And this guy, Travis Kelce, is also a member of their team. Again, scary stuff in Kansas City.
