TD 5: Everyone scores
In the Patrick Mahomes-led offense, everyone gets a share. Wide receiver Chris Conley had scored just one touchdown in his first three seasons as a pro in Kansas City, but Mahomes made a point to get him involved. He was open on a seam route.
Opponent: Week 2 at Pittsburgh
Play: 15 yards to Chris Conley
Down and distance: 2nd and goal
Score: Chiefs 7, Steelers 0
Time: 13:05 first quarter
TD 6: Back-shoulder blast
Patrick Mahomes knew where he wanted to go with the ball all along, but he fooled the defense into thinking he was headed elsewhere with it. He looked to his left before turning toward tight end Travis Kelce for the back-shoulder throw.
Opponent: Week 2 at Pittsburgh
Play: 19 yards to Travis Kelce
Down and distance: 2nd and 9
Score: Chiefs 14, Steelers 0
Time: 9:08 first quarter
TD 7: Record first quarter
It was obvious from the beginning of the season that Patrick Mahomes would make his running backs an integral part of the passing game. He found one here on a swing pass. The Chiefs scored 21 points in the first quarter, tying a franchise record.
Opponent: Week 2 at Pittsburgh
Play: 5 yards to Kareem Hunt
Down and distance: 3rd and goal
Score: Chiefs 21, Steelers 0

TD 8: It’s Kelce, again

Play: 25 yards to Travis Kelce
Down and distance: 2nd and 9
Score: Chiefs 28, Steelers 21

Play: 3 yards to Demarcus Robinson
Down and distance: 2nd and 1
