NFL: Patrick Mahomes helps Kansas City Chiefs maintain their undefeated start

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shook off a late injury scare as his team won 30-24 in overtime against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, continuing their undefeated start to the season.

Mahomes threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns without an interception, while running back Kareem Hunt claimed a game-winning two-yard touchdown to lift the Chiefs, playing at home, to 8-0.

Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl winner, had rolled his ankle in a win over the Las Vegas Raiders last week and was limping again after escaping pressure to send a touchdown pass to Samaje Perine, leaving the Chiefs early were level at 17-17. in the fourth quarter.

The 29-year-old needed help getting to the sideline, but after treatment he returned to hit DeAndre Hopkins on a five-yard touchdown pass that put the reigning Super Bowl champions up 24-17 with four minutes remaining and 17 seconds to go.

Tampa Bay responded when quarterback Baker Mayfield controlled the play, leading to a Ryan Miller touchdown and when the Bucs opted not to go for a two-point conversion and the lead, the extra-point kick tied the score at 24-24.

Kansas City’s final drive in regulation went nowhere, but they got the ball to start overtime, with Mahomes leading them to the winning score as the Bucs suffered a fourth loss in their past five games.
