The Chiefs kicked aside that three-game home losing streak.

Harrison Butker’s 44-yard field goal at the final gun proved to the be the difference as the Chiefs beat the Vikings 26-23 at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

The Chiefs improved to 1-1 with quarterback Matt Moore starting in place of the injured Patrick Mahomes.

Chiefs fans, as one might expect, were thrilled.

Here is what they were saying on Twitter:

I think my Apple Watch just called an ambulance for me! #ChiefsKingdom

That was a helluva game. Defense with an excellent showing, and the offensive playmakers showed up. #Chiefs #ChiefsKingdom

If we get this #chiefs defense when Mahomes comes back we’ll have a chance to get where we want to go.

Pats are still the class IMO, but I like us too. https://t.co/grHc87i9H3

Beating the Vikings without Mahomes is such an achievement. Bring on the next challenge #ChiefsKingdom

It can't be overstated how huge that win is. #Chiefs beat a good team that was fully healthy and they did it without Mahomes. Being 6-3 is SO MUCH better than 5-4. Just an epic W.

Big, big win today. Huge difference between 6-3 and 5-4. #Chiefs

So proud of our @Chiefs with a win without @PatrickMahomes! Great job #ChiefsKingdom !
