Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs bounced back from last week's disappointing loss to the Indianapolis Colts, knocking off Tom Brady and the Tampa Buccaneers on Sunday night, 41-31.
Mahomes helped lead the Chiefs' well-rounded attack Sunday night.
Kansas City's standout quarterback finished 23-of-37 for 249 yards, with three touchdowns, including a zany flip-pass to Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the first half.
Mahomes connected with eight different receivers on the night, with stud tight end Travis Kelce leading the way with nine receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown.
The Chiefs' ground game also made an impact against the Buccaneers, finishing with 189 rushing yards. Edwards-Helaire was the Chiefs leading rusher, posting 92 yards and a touchdown off 19 carries.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs' defense kept the Buccaneers' running attack under wraps, holding Tampa to just three-net rushing yards.
Kansas City jumped ahead of the Bucs early, taking a 14-3 lead into the second quarter. The Chiefs kept their 11-point lead intact heading into the halftime break, leading 28-17.
It was more of the same in the second half. While Brady and the Bucs cut the Chiefs' lead to 10 points late, they never really threatened with a comeback.
Brady finished 39-of-52 for 385 yards and three touchdowns in the loss.
Mike Evans led all Buccaneers with eight catches for 103 yards and two scores.
The loss is the second in a row for the Bucs after falling to the Green Bay Packers 14-12 in Week 3. Tampa Bay hosts the Atlanta Falcons next Sunday.
Conversely, the Chiefs improve to 3-1 on the season. They'll look to make it two wins in a row in Week 5 when they host the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football.
