Despite one of the most pedestrian performances of Patrick Mahomes career, the Kansas City Chiefs managed to squeak out a victory on Sunday, as Harrison Butker kicked a 51-yard field goal with time expiring to deliver the Chiefs a 26-25 victory.
On the final drive, Bengals safety Daijahn Anthony was called for pass interference, delivering the Chiefs new life on a fourth and 15.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 151 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, while Isaiah Pacheco, who left Arrowhead on crutches and in a walking boot, added over 100 yards of total offense.
The Chiefs hit the road to take on the Falcons in primetime next week on Sunday Night Football.

It was a less fortunate outcome for the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes, who suffered their worst regular season loss since 2016 on Saturday in a 44-14 rout.
To add insult to injury, quarterback Byron McNair suffered an injury on a second-half sack and did not return to the game. His status remains up in the air ahead of a matchup with Friends this Saturday

And finally, the Kansas City Royals were able to take two out of three from the Pittsburgh Pirates this weekend as the Pirates avoided the sweep on Sunday.
Bobby Witt Jr. crossed the 100 RBI threshold on Friday, and the Royals maintain their 2.5 game lead for the ALs second Wild Card spot.
