Patrick Mahomes led his Kansas City Chiefs to a convincing 28-7 victory over the Washington Commanders, defying early setbacks to propel his team to their fourth win in five games. Despite throwing two early interceptions, Mahomes was nearly perfect, culminating in three touchdowns that boosted his career totals.
The Chiefs' offense finally found its footing after a lackluster first half, which featured multiple turnovers and failed drives by both teams. However, the turning point came midway through the third quarter when Mahomes orchestrated an 80-yard drive capped off by a touchdown pass to tight end Travis Kelce, who tied Priest Holmes for the Chiefs' record with his 83rd career touchdown reception.
The Commanders struggled to find rhythm, sputtering with quarterback Marcus Mariota's 213 yards and one touchdown against two interceptions. Terry McLaurin's return from injury was marked by a three-catch, 54-yard performance that provided Washington's only scoring play of the night.
In contrast, Mahomes continued his dominant form, tossing touchdowns to Rashee Rice and Kelce. The Chiefs' offense showed remarkable resilience in overcoming early setbacks, with Rice providing the decisive blow late in the fourth quarter on an 18-yard touchdown reception that sealed the win for Kansas City.
The Commanders' woes at home continued, falling to 1-4 away from FedExField this season. Despite a valiant effort by McLaurin, Washington's inability to capitalize on its scoring opportunities proved costly against a Chiefs team that's now riding a six-game winning streak over their NFC East rivals.

I'm getting so frustrated with the Commanders' inconsistent play at home 
. They can't seem to get it together, and it's costing them games 
. Meanwhile, Mahomes is just on another level 
. Like, what's going on with the Commanders' offense? Can they even string together a decent drive without turning it over? 
It's like they're trying to make it hard for themselves. And don't even get me started on McLaurin - he had some good plays, but not enough to change the outcome 
. The Chiefs are just cruising along right now, and I'm here for it 
!
. Mahomes is just straight up magician out there! I mean, two interceptions in the first half? That could've been a different story, but he's just too clutch for that. And oh man, that 80-yard drive in the third quarter was incredible 
. But hey, at least Terry McLaurin made a comeback and gave it his all 
. That's what I love about football, the drama, the twists, the comebacks! And btw, six-game winning streak? The Chiefs are on fire 
!
. They've gotta step it up if they wanna compete for anything. 6 game win streak is crazy, Mahomes is on another level 
. McLaurin's return was a good sign but the rest of the team still needs to catch up 
. Still, gotta keep an eye on this game and see if Washington can turn it around 
he's like a superhuman or something, dodging defenders and making throws that would make your head spin 360° it's crazy to watch him in action 
even with two interceptions, mahomes still puts up huge numbers and wins the game for the chiefs 
meanwhile, the commanders are just struggling to find their footing 
marcus mariota's not doing much, but at least they got some nice returns from terry mclaurin
