Quarterback Patrick Mahomes flipped a chest-high pass to tight end Travis Kelce, who powered across the line to record his 87th career score. Officially logged as a rushing play, this marked just the third time Kelce has reached paydirt via the ground over the course of his professional tenure.
Kansas City's drive was aided by advantageous starting field position after an opponent kickoff sailed out of bounds. The kicking duties had curiously been delegated to fullback Andrew Beck rather than the team's usual specialists.
