Chiefs vs. Steelers: Travis Kelce scores historic touchdown in Week 17

#Chiefs TE Travis Kelce secured his spot in Kansas City’s franchise record books with this touchdown catch against the #Steelers in Week 17.

Head coach Andy Reid kept his foot on the gas pedal in the fourth quarter of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 17 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.

Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton recovered a fumble by Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth early in the game’s final frame, and Patrick Mahomes was sure to capitalize on optimal field position to extend Kansas City’s lead.

On a second down play from Pittsburgh’s 12-yard line, Mahomes rolled out and threw a touchdown pass to star tight end Travis Kelce, who easily hauled in the ball while standing all by himself in the Steelers’ end zone.

With this score, Kelce took sole ownership of the top spot in Kansas City’s franchise record books with the most receiving touchdowns in Chiefs history.

Take a look at this video of Kelce’s historic touchdown reception, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs’ official account:

In the final frame of Kansas City’s Week 17 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, veteran running back Kareem Hunt hit paydirt on a rushing touchdown that may have sealed a Chiefs victory.

After three hotly contested quarters of play, Kansas City got out to an insurmountable lead when Hunt put the Chiefs up by 10 points.

Check out this video of #Chiefs DB Justin Reid’s outstanding interception in Kansas City’s Week 17 matchup against the #Steelers.

The Kansas City Chiefs are on course to blow out the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 after veteran defensive back Justin Reid intercepted quarterback Russell Wilson in the first quarter of the AFC powerhouses’ Christmas Day matchup.

Kansas City had already gotten out to a two-score first-quarter lead before Reid’s outstanding interception, and the Chiefs took possession with a chance to go up by 20 or more points on their third offensive drive.

Though plenty of time remains for Pittsburgh to claw its way back, Kansas City’s convincing performance early in the game is a clear indication that the Chiefs intend to secure the AFC’s No. 1 seed with a win over the Steelers.

After a quick three-and-out for the Steelers, Mahomes marched Kansas City’s offense downfield and eventually found himself in the red zone.

On a second and four inside Pittsburgh’s ten-yard line, Worthy lined up as a running back, and caught a simple swing pass from Mahomes that resulted in an easy touchdown for the first-year wideout.

Take a look at this video of Worthy’s score, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs’ official account:

Though plenty of time remains in Wednesday’s game, Worthy’s nifty first-quarter touchdown gave Kansas City an early lead that may prove decisive in the Chiefs’ bid to earn the AFC’s No. 1 playoff seed with a win over Pittsburgh.

Stay tuned to see if Worthy can continue making his presence felt against the Steelers at Acrisure Stadium this afternoon.

WATCH: Rhamondre Stevenson rumbles for touchdown vs. Bills

Rhamondre Stevenson cashes in on an angry touchdown run

The New England Patriots entered Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills with nothing to lose. That made them dangerous in the early going with Drake Maye delivering a deep touchdown pass and running back Rhamondre Stevenson following it up with a bruising touchdown run.

Stevenson powered his way through tackles and rumbled into the end zone from 14 yards out for the score. The drive itself took nine plays, 91 yards and 9:57 off the clock. It was Stevenson’s seventh rushing touchdown of the season.

The Patriots have struggled to get the ground game going consistently this season. So Stevenson coming away with six points on the ground was a huge win for the offense.

The Bills would respond on their ensuing drive to make a 14-7 game. Nevertheless, Stevenson’s physicality helped New England score their second touchdown in as many drives and make a statement early.

Former Patriots Pro Bowl LB Matthew Judon gets pick-six touchdown

The man with the red sleeves got a pick-six in Sunday’s game

Former New England Patriots edge rusher Matthew Judon is up to his old game-wrecking ways with the Atlanta Falcons.

In Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, the veteran linebacker hauled in a deflected pass and took it to the house for six points. It was a beautiful heads-up play that poured onto an already lopsided lead for the Falcons in Atlanta.

Judon started the year in New England, but he was ultimately traded to the Falcons for a third-round draft pick before the start of the regular season. It has been a mostly disappointing run for the four-time Pro Bowler in Atlanta. However, plays like the pick-six against New York are proof that he’s capable of making a game-changing play at any moment.

The Patriots haven’t had much success in the pass-rushing department without Judon this season. But they have big hopes that players like Keion White and Anfernee Jennings can grow in the role.

Kansas City has dealt with injuries in its receiving corps all season, but Worthy has risen to the occasion and made the most of his increased opportunities in recent weeks.

Chiefs vs. Texans: Trent McDuffie snags second career interception

Kansas City #Chiefs DB Trent McDuffie snagged the second interception of his young career against the Houston #Texans in Week 16.

The Kansas City Chiefs are nursing a seven-point halftime lead in their Week 16 matchup against the Houston Texans, and have relied on Steve Spagnuolo’s outstanding defense to keep momentum on their side.

Though Houston has done its best to solve the riddle of Spagnuolo’s schemes, Kansas City’s defenders have kept Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud on his back foot while also maintaining pressure on their opponent’s running game.

After rookie defensive back Jaden Hicks came down with an interception on the game’s first drive, star cornerback Trent McDuffie got into the action and secured his second career interception before the half.

Take a look at this video of McDuffie’s diving pick, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs’ official account:

McDuffie grabbed his first career interception on Sunday in Kansas City’s Week 15 win over the Cleveland Browns.

The Kansas City Chiefs’s hot start leveled off in the second quarter of their matchup against the Houston Texans on Saturday, but the defending Super Bowl champions got momentum back on their side just before halftime.

After a defensive turnover and subsequent touchdown by the Chiefs to open the game, Kansas City’s offense plateaued after the first quarter.

Down 10-7 with under five minutes remaining, quarterback Patrick Mahomes put together a near-perfect drive that resulted in an impressive touchdown scored by veteran running back Kareem Hunt.

Take a look at this video of Hunt’s touchdown, which was posted by the Chiefs’ official Twitter account:

Hunt’s return to Kansas City has been a total success, and the former Toledo Rocket has proven to be a key asset for Andy Ried’s offense despite Isiah Pacheco’s return to the starting lineup.

Stay tuned to see if Hunt can continue to impress as Kansas City looks to beat Houston and improve to 14-1 on the season.

WATCH: Patriots QB Drake Maye rushes for touchdown vs. Cardinals

Drake Maye has some wheels on him

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye scored the team’s second touchdown of Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.

The first touchdown for the team was a completed pass to wide receiver Demario Douglas. However, this time, Maye scored a touchdown with his legs.

The rookie quarterback carried the ball from five yards out for the score late in the fourth quarter when the game was out of reach. The rush concluded a six-play, 70-yard drive that took 1:32 off the clock. It was the rookie’s second rushing touchdown of the season.

More importantly, he helped get the team on the board in a game where the offense struggled to finish drives with touchdowns.

Maye showed flashes of what makes him one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the NFL. It wasn’t enough to get the Patriots a win, but it was enough to give them hope that the future is still bright in New England.
