The Kansas City Chiefs made a statement on Sunday night with a three-phase victory over the Detroit Lions.

Here are some quick notes from the win.

1. The Chiefs scored 28+ points for the third-straight week.

Kansas City piled up 30 points and 355 yards of offense on Sunday night, scoring on five of its seven true possessions throughout the game. It marked the third-straight week in which the Chiefs tallied at least 28 points, and during that span, Kansas City is averaging 31.7 points and 404.3 yards-per-game. For context, the Chiefs’ 95 total points during that time are their most in a three-game span since late in the 2021 season.

A major key behind that recent success has been the Chiefs’ performance in the red zone, where Kansas City is 12-for-17 in terms of scoring touchdowns since Week 3.

Additionally, looking at Sunday’s game specifically, Kansas City did an excellent job of matching Detroit’s offense score-for-score. Outside of a turnover-on-downs early in the game, the Chiefs followed every Lions’ score with a score of their own on Sunday.

The “double dip” between the end of the first half and the beginning of the third quarter was critical, too. The Chiefs found the end zone with under a minute remaining in the second quarter and then opened the third quarter with another touchdown drive, building a double-digit lead that Detroit never fully overcame.

The successful execution of the “double-dip,” not to mention a 4-for-6 mark on third down in the second half, put Kansas City in firm control of the game.

2. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the fastest player in NFL history to 300 career touchdown passes.

Mahomes was brilliant yet again on Sunday night, completing 22-of-30 passes for 257 yards and four total touchdowns while compiling a passer rating of 132.2. It marked his 27th career game with at least three passing touchdowns and zero interceptions, which are the most for any player since 2018 (and the 11th most in NFL history).

The Chiefs’ veteran quarterback also broke another record on Sunday, shattering the mark previously held by Aaron Rodgers for the fewest games (including the playoffs) to 300 career passing touchdowns. Mahomes reached that number in just 139 games, besting Rodgers’ 147.
