Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to a dominant victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, securing the top seed in the AFC for the fourth time in seven seasons.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns as the Kansas City Chiefs clinched the top seed in the AFC for the fourth time in seven seasons with a 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day. The two-time defending Super Bowl champions jumped to an early 13-point lead and were never challenged by the Steelers (10-6), who have lost three straight as their hopes of winning the AFC North took another hit.
Mahomes connected on first-half scoring passes to Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson while the Kansas City defense did most of the rest even with perennial All-Pro defensive end Chris Jones sitting out due to a calf injury. The Chiefs sacked Russell Wilson five times, forced two turnovers and hardly looked tired while playing for the third time in 11 days. Travis Kelce caught eight passes for 84 yards while becoming the third tight end in NFL history to reach 1,000 receptions, joining Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten. Kelce secured Kansas City's fifth consecutive victory with a 12-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter, breaking Gonzalez's franchise record for all-time touchdown catches with the 77th of his career.
