Chiefs vs. Chargers: RB Samaje Perine scores go-ahead touchdown

#Chiefs RB Samaje Perine scored a crucial fourth-quarter touchdown to give Kansas City a lead over the #Chargers in Week 4.

The Kansas City Chiefs finally found some much-needed offensive rhythm in the fourth quarter of their Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

After a disastrous start to the game, which included two turnovers and potentially serious injury to wide receiver Rashee Rice, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City’s offense had to adjust.

The Chiefs’ defense held up their end of the bargain, and with the game on the line in the fourth quarter, running back Samaje Perine delivered the decisive blow against the Chargers by scoring a touchdown that gave Kansas City a late lead.

Take a look at the go-ahead score by the former Cincinnati Bengal, which was posted by the Chiefs’ official Twitter account:

Kansas City had no problem closing out the game and eventually secured victory to advance their regular season record to 4-0.

Expect to see Mahomes and Perine back in action against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5.

WATCH: Jacoby Brissett connects on touchdown pass to Austin Hooper

Jacoby Brissett finally gets the Patriots in the end zone

The New England Patriots ended up taking advantage of a San Francisco 49ers special teams miscue at the beginning of the second half.

The 49ers fumbled the kickoff return, and the Patriots recovered the ball and turned it into a touchdown-scoring drive.

The drive itself took five plays, 27 yards and 2:49 off the clock. It concluded with Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett connecting on a play-action pass to tight end Austin Hooper.

Hooper put the finishing touches on the play by taking the ball into the end zone for the touchdown and cutting into the 49ers’ lead by a 20-10 margin, following the extra point.

It was Hooper’s first touchdown of the season and Brissett’s second touchdown pass.

The 49ers would respond with a touchdown following the Patriots’ possession.

So whatever excitement came from the play was short-lived. The Patriots have done well when running the ball effectively and utilizing their tight ends on short-yardage plays.

At this point, it seems like the only way they can move the ball.

WATCH: Patriots K Joey Slye drills record-setting field goal kick

This kick was absolutely ridiculous

New England Patriots kicker Joey Syle scored the only points for the team in the first half of Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. He set a new franchise record by drilling a 63-yard field goal through the uprights and giving New England their first points of the game.

The score came at the end of the first half and concluded a four-play drive that took 38 seconds. The Patriots only had minus-six yards on the drive, but Slye’s kick ensured that it wasn’t a wasted opportunity.

The field goal kick is tied for the fourth-longest in NFL history. It gave the Patriots some much-needed momentum heading into the locker room.

Patriots fans are hoping the offense can show more fight down the stretch.

Slye has been one of the few positive playmakers for the team. He’s a solid addition after the team struggled in the field goal kicking department throughout the 2023 season with Chad Ryland as the starter.

With that said, the Patriots need more than field goals to win football games.

Chiefs vs. Chargers: Patrick Mahomes, Xavier Worthy strike for long touchdown

Check out this video of #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ outstanding touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy against the #Chargers in Week 4.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense took some time to get in rhythm against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday afternoon but finally found their groove when Patrick Mahomes hit Xavier Worthy for a 54-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

The outstanding play came after a disastrous start for Mahomes at SoFi Stadium and effectively kick-started Kansas City’s effort to earn a fourth consecutive win to start the regular season.

Star wide receiver Rashee Rice sustained a knee injury in the first quarter, and Worthy stepped up when the Chiefs needed him most to get Kansas City on the board.

Check out this video of Worthy’s incredible catch, which was posted by the Chiefs’ official account on Twitter:

This game is far from over, but this pitch and catch from Mahomes and Worthy may be just what Kansas City needed to get into winning form against the Chargers.

Stay tuned to see if the Chiefs can stay hot in Los Angeles.

Jayhawks at Arrowhead: Kansas RB Daniel Hishaw Jr. scores impressive touchdown

Check out this video of #Jayhawks RB Daniel Hishaw Jr. scoring a touchdown during Kansas’ matchup against the TCU at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Kansas City Chiefs won’t be playing at Arrowhead Stadium this weekend, but the Kansas Jayhawks are doing their best to put on a show for fans in the defending Super Bowl champions’ absence.

The Jayhawks entered their matchup against the TCU Horned Frogs with a chip on their shoulders after a disappointing 1-3 start to their 2024 season.

Kansas put together an impressive showing in the first half of their tilt against TCU and opened up the third quarter with a six-minute drive that ended with a touchdown scored by running back Daniel Hishaw Jr.

Check out this video of the speedster’s score that gave the Jayhawks a lead early in the second half:

Hishaw, who joined Kansas in 2020, is part of the Jayhawks’ outstanding ground game, which is usually spearheaded by star running back Devin Neal.

If Hishaw and Neal can continue to dominate the Horned Frogs through the rest of this game, the Jayhawks should be able to secure victory at Arrowhead Stadium.

Jayhawks at Arrowhead: Jalon Daniels, Luke Grimm connect for early touchdown

Kansas #Jayhawks QB Jalon Daniels connected with WR Luke Grimm for a touchdown against the TCU Horned Frogs at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Kansas Jayhawks have struggled to begin the 2024 college football season, but are hoping a trip to Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs, might change their fortunes this week.

The Jayhawks got off to a quick start in their matchup against the TCU Horned Frogs at Arrowhead on Saturday and looked like the team many thought they would be to start the season.

After cornerback Cobee Bryant forced an early turnover, quarterback Jalon Daniels found his rhythm when Kansas was on offense and easily marched the Jayhawks down the field for a touchdown.

Take a look at Daniels’ touchdown pass to wide receiver Luke Grimm, which was posted by KU Football’s official Twitter account:

Kansas has a long way to go if they intend to meet their preseason expectations, but if Daniels and Grimm can continue to connect in key situations, the Jayhawks could easily find themselves in their third-straight bowl game.

Chiefs vs. Falcons: Patrick Mahomes finds JuJu Smith-Schuster for touchdown

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes found veteran WR JuJu Smith-Schuster for a touchdown in Kansas City’s Week 3 matchup against the #Falcons.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense has struggled to start the 2024 regular season, and for the first half of their Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, it seemed that the defending champions would continue the trend.

After Patrick Mahomes threw an interception on Kansas City’s first drive, Atlanta seemed to have an early advantage.

But, when the Chiefs opened the second half with the ball, Mahomes and Kansas City’s passing game finally began to click, and they marched with ease toward the endzone.

At the end of a long drive, Mahomes hit veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster for a touchdown.

Take a look at this video of the perfectly executed catch and score by Smith-Schuster, which was posted by the Chiefs’ official Twitter account:

With the injury to veteran wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, other receivers such as Smith-Schuster will be needed in big spots during Kansas City’s 2024 regular season campaign.

Chiefs vs. Falcons: Chamarri Conner intercepts Kirk Cousins

#Chiefs DB Chamarri Conner intercepted #Falcons QB Kirk Cousins in Kansas City’s Week 3 matchup against Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The Atlanta Falcons have the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense right where they want them on Sunday Night Football, but have let the defending champions keep the score within one point heading into halftime.

Kansas City is set to receive the second-half kickoff, and the Chiefs needed the heroics of second-year defensive back Chamarri Conner to help them cut their deficit late in the second quarter.

When Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins was pressured in the pocket during a first-half two-minute drill, he threw an easily interceptible ball in Conner’s direction.

The sophomore defender lept at his chance to make a play, coming away with the rock before handing it off to fellow defensive back Jaylen Watson, who was able to gain a few extra yards on the return.

Kansas City would settle for a Harrison Butker field goal on its ensuing drive.

Stay tuned to see if the Chiefs can complete a second-half comeback at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Week 3.

Chiefs vs. Falcons: Patrick Mahomes hit Rashee Rice for touchdown before halftime

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes threw a touchdown pass to Rashee Rice in the second quarter of Kansas City’s Week 3 matchup against the #Falcons.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense struggled to get in gear against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night, but their fortunes changed when quarterback Patrick Mahomes was able to hit wide receiver Rashee Rice for a touchdown in the second quarter.

Atlanta was up by seven points before the highlight-reel play and had kept Mahomes and the Chiefs’ passing attack in check through the game’s first frame.

After leading Kansas City’s offense down the field on the Chiefs’ first drive, Mahomes threw an interception to Falcons safety Justin Simmons.

On Kansas City’s second drive, Mahomes methodically matriculated the ball into the red zone and was able to find Rice with a touchdown pass to pull the Chiefs within one point.

When Harrison Butker nailed the extra point try, Kansas City officially tied the game.

Expect to see Mahomes continue to look Rice’s way as the Chiefs try to sustain more long drives against Atlanta’s stingy defense.

Alvin Kamara on his 57-yard TD catch: ‘It felt like a practice rep’

Alvin Kamara’s 57-yard touchdown was executed so well he compared the play to a practice rep. He gave credit to his Saints teammates and play caller Klint Kubiak:

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had a monster game against the Dallas Cowboys, and one of his highlights was taking a screen pass from Derek Carr 57 yards for a touchdown. After the game, Kamara reflected on how smoothly that play developed.

The running back began by giving credit to offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak for making the call “right on time.” Kamara said that because of the execution by all players involved, from the linemen to the wide receivers, “It felt like a practice rep.”

For Kamara, it was easy. Once the ball was in his hands, all he had to do was run to the end zone. Running over 50 yards with no one getting close to tackling you is a great indication of effective play calling. It was so easy Kamara “didn’t even have to run really.”

The Cowboys’ new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer had no answer for Kamara and the Saints offense. That isn’t new for Zimmer. Kamara had arguably the best game of his career versus the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day 2020. That game featured 155 yards on the ground and 6 touchdowns, both career highs for Kamara.

That was the last time Kamara faced Zimmer. That’s 10 touchdowns in the last 2 games against a Zimmer defense. At least one of those touchdowns “felt like a practice rep” to Kamara.
