Mahomes throws for TD and runs for score as Chiefs beat Texans 27-19 to close in on No. 1 seed
Associated Press— Patrick Mahomes knew he could run on the ankle he sprained last week. “That’s something that I pride myself on is being out there with my guys.” Xavier Worthy had seven catches for 65 yards and a touchdown, Kareem Hunt ran for 55 yards and another score, and Marquise Brown had five catches for 45 yards for Kansas City in his first game this season after recovering from a shoulder injury. There were questions early in the week about whether Mahomes, who has a history of ankle injuries, would play at all after he sustained a high ankle sprain late in last week’s win over Cleveland. But the Chiefs quickly regained the lead when Hunt barreled into the end zone, and they tacked on a field goal a few minutes later after Stroud’s second interception to lead 17-10 at the break. She has been spending more time with her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in Kansas City since she wrapped up her Eras Tour on Dec. 8 in Vancouver, British Columbia, including making a surprise visit to Children’s Mercy Hospital.
