KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)
Patrick Mahomes threw for 416 yards and five touchdowns, the Kansas City defense shut down Sam Darnold and the inept Jets offense and the Chiefs romped to a 35-9 victory over winless New York.
Tyreek Hill had 98 yards receiving and two touchdowns, Travis Kelce had 109 yards and another score, and Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson also reached the end zone for the Chiefs.
The win was Andy Reid's 229th and put him in a tie with Hall of Fame coach Curly Lambeau for the fifth most in NFL history. The Jets managed just 221 yards total offense in falling to 0-8 for the first time since 1996.
Kansas City found the end zone on three of its first four possessions, building a sizable lead as New York moved the ball well early on, but couldn't finish drives.
Mahomes completed 31-of-42 passes for 416 yards and five touchdowns in the game, marking his 10th career outing with at least four passing touchdowns – the most in the NFL since 2018 and four more than second place.
It was Hill's eighth multi-receiving touchdown game since 2017, tying the Green Bay Packers' Davante Adams for the most in the NFL. Hill was one of 10 players to catch a pass for Kansas City on Sunday and one of four to top 60+ yards receiving. Kelce led that group with 109 yards through the air, matching Antonio Gates and Jason Witten for the fifth-most 100-yard games (21) by a tight end in NFL history.
It all marked Kansas City's third victory in a row and its seventh overall this season as the Chiefs reached the midpoint of the campaign, and with 35 points on Sunday, Kansas City tallied 23+ points for the 44th time in its last 45 games.
The Chiefs will return to action on Sunday as they take on the Carolina Panthers at Arrowhead Stadium.
