What happened: Justin Fields lined up next to the quarterback on a Chiefs touchdown play during Kansas City's live game on ESPN. The Chiefs led 31-10 with the game still in progress.

Why it matters: Kansas City entered the night 0-3 and averaging 12.0 points, so a scoring package featuring Justin Fields stands out for an offense that had struggled to produce early this season. The live margin also pushed the Chiefs well past their season scoring average.

By the numbers: Kansas City came in 0-3, on a three-game skid and averaging 12.0 points per game, then built a 31-10 in-game lead.

What to watch: Watch whether the Chiefs keep Fields in that package as the game unfolds and whether the 31-point output carries through the finish.
