First Quarter
The game commenced with both teams displaying strong defensive efforts. The Chiefs' defense set the tone early, with Chris Jones and George Karlaftis each recording a sack that stifled the Giants' offensive momentum. Patrick Mahomes led the offense efficiently, completing key passes that moved Kansas City into scoring position.

As the second quarter unfolded, Harrison Butker's reliable kicking extended Kansas City's lead. Butker successfully converted three field goals throughout the game, including an impressive 54-yarder. Meanwhile, Isiah Pacheco contributed significantly on ground plays but was unable to find the end zone despite his efforts.
Third Quarter
In this period, Kareem Hunt made his presence felt by rushing for a touchdown that further solidified Kansas City's advantage. The defense continued its dominance as Jaylen Watson intercepted a pass from New York's quarterback, showcasing their ability to capitalize on turnovers.
Fourth Quarter
The final quarter saw Tyquan Thornton catching Mahomes’ only passing touchdown of the game after an impressive drive downfield. The Red Kingdom's defense remained relentless; Chris Roland-Wallace added another interception to seal any comeback hopes for Big Blue.
