Kansas City Chiefs’ opening victory quickly forgotten with Chargers on horizon: podcast
The Kansas City Chiefs’ 44-21 decision over the Arizona Cardinals in the season opener was a complete game victory. Patrick Mahomes led touchdown drives on the first three possessions and finished with five touchdown passes. The defense allowed one touchdown while the game was competitive, and the kicking game got through despite an ankle injury to Harrison Butker.
Now, the Chiefs have a short week to prepare for their next contest, a Thursday Night Football appearance against the Los Angeles Chargers, a team that’s won its previous two games at Arrowhead Stadium.
On today’s SportsBeat KC podcast, columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian along with beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell discuss the Chiefs’ dominance.
After a break you’ll hear what Patrick Mahomes had to say about the victory and his performance.
