There was a huge difference between the feeling of winning over the Chicago Bears last week and the victory over the New York Jets this week for the Chiefs.
The Kansas City Chiefs were favored by a lot over the New York Jets but they narrowly escaped as they could only muster up six points after the first quarter after having a 17-0 lead.
Mahomes shouldered the bulk of the blame during his postgame press conference, but superstar tight end Travis Kelce wasn’t shy about voicing his opinion.
Per Dianna Russini of The Athletic:
“I spoke with Travis Kelce walking off the field tonight and he was not happy. He was pissed off about the offense. He mentioned penalties and mistakes were costly and they did nothing to help the defense tonight. It was a win but not how they wanted.”
Arrowhead Pride lead analyst Ron Kopp Jr. relayed that the Week 4 win over the Jets was Mahomes’ “4th-lowest single-game passer rating in his career (63.6),” and the “lowest since Week 13 of 2021” versus the Denver Broncos.

Mahomes was uncharacteristic all night as he finished with two interceptions and one passing touchdown to tight end Noah Gray. He was also just 18 of 30 through the air.
2022 seventh-round pick Isiah Pacheco totaled a career-high 158 yards from scrimmage in Kansas City’s 23-20 win over the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football.
The Chiefs finished with 204 rushing yards.
