The final score was 30-17 in favor of the Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. This win marks an important moment for the Chiefs as they continue their journey through the regular season.

First Quarter

The game kicked off with both teams showing strong defensive stances. However, it was Patrick Mahomes who set the tone for the Chiefs with his precise passing. Completing 22 out of 30 attempts and amassing 257 yards without any interceptions, Mahomes demonstrated why he is considered one of the top quarterbacks in the league. His performance included three touchdown passes that were pivotal to building an early lead.

As we moved into the second quarter, Isiah Pacheco made significant contributions on the ground with his rushing prowess. He carried for a total of 51 yards on 12 attempts and helped secure crucial first downs that kept drives alive for Kansas City. Meanwhile, Travis Kelce was instrumental in receiving plays, catching six passes for a total of 78 yards and consistently moving chains.

Third Quarter

In this period, Harrison Butker added to Kansas City's tally with a successful field goal from 33 yards out. The defense also stepped up significantly; Charles Omenihu recorded one sack while Chamarri Conner forced a fumble that disrupted Detroit's offensive momentum.

Fourth Quarter

The final quarter saw Marquise Brown shine by securing two touchdown receptions from Mahomes—one being an impressive nine-yard catch that sealed their dominance over Detroit's defense. Despite efforts from Aidan Hutchinson and other Lions players to counteract this surge, it wasn't enough to turn things around.

Kansas City's defense held firm throughout all four quarters forcing two three-and-outs against Detroit’s offense which struggled under pressure from Nick Bolton and Bryan Cook among others who combined effectively across tackles and assists.
