Juju Smith-Schuster Scores In Win
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had two catches for 17 yards and a touchdown in the 22-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons. Smith-Schuster was not on the field for much of the game on Sunday night, but he made the most of his opportunities. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes found Smith-Schuster on a crossing route […]
Xavier Worthy Still Minimally Involved In Win
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy had two catches for 17 yards in the 22-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons. Worthy also added 13 rushing yards on three carries. With four or fewer targets in each of the first three weeks, the Chiefs have continued to utilize Worthy as a gadget type of player […]
Travis Kelce More Involved In Win
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had four catches for 30 yards in the 22-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons. Kelce was targeted five times in this contest, second-most on the team behind Rashee Rice. Rice has undoubtedly passed Kelce as the top option in the Patrick Mahomes-led offense. The 34-year-old has not reached […]
Carson Steele Solid In Win
Kansas City Chiefs running back Carson Steele rushed for 72 yards on 17 carries in the 22-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons. Steele was also targeted twice out of the backfield and brought in one catch for two yards. As expected, Steele was the lead back for the Chiefs and was heavily involved in this […]
Rashee Rice Scores In Week 3 Win
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice caught 12 of his 14 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the 22-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons. Rice was a force on Sunday Night, accounting for nearly a third of the Chiefs' total yards in the contest. The second-year receiver led all Chiefs pass-catchers in […]
Patrick Mahomes Average In Win
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of 39 pass attempts (66.7%) for 217 yards and two touchdowns in the 22-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons. This marks the third straight game that Mahomes has passed for fewer than 300 yards to begin the season and the second straight game that he passed for […]
Wanya Morris To Start At Left Tackle For Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs have benched rookie left tackle Kingsley Suamataia in favor of Wanya Morris for their Week 3 game on Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons.
