For Patrick Mahomes, 2-0 feels stronger than ever. 💪 https://t.co/e93V3RRajJ

What happened: Patrick Mahomes guided the offense to a second consecutive victory. He delivered his first three-touchdown performance without an interception since 2022.

Why it matters: The passing display answers early questions about the unit's overall efficiency. The addition of Kenneth Walker III in the backfield has forced opponents to respect the run, creating softer coverages for the receivers downfield.

By the numbers: Walker has already compiled 369 scrimmage yards in his first two games with Kansas City.

What to watch: The coaching staff will look to maintain this offensive balance heading into Week 3.
