The quarterback’s injury had recently triggered a debate about how to deal with the rules for protecting football players and caused innovations in this area. At 16:10 he had a touchdown pass and didn’t make a big mistake.
The Kansas City Chiefs had previously won the duel with the San Francisco 49ers, in which newcomer Christian McCaffrey was used for the first time. The professional, who can be used in a variety of ways in attack, did not have a touchdown and was unable to prevent the 23:44 against the superior guests. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a strong 423 yards gain through passes and three passes for touchdowns.
Because the Los Angeles Chargers lost 23:37 to the Seattle Seahawks in the parallel game, the Chiefs consolidated their lead in the AFC West with five wins and two losses.
