Mahomes completed 18 of 25 passes for 151 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals. He added four rushing attempts for 29 yards.
Mahomes threw a perfect pass down the sideline for a 44-yard Rashee Rice touchdown in the second quarter, and he added a one-yard touchdown pass to backup left tackle Wanya Morris as the Chiefs reached into their bag of tricks in the third. Despite doing just enough to get his team to 2-0 heading into Week 3 against the Falcons thanks to a game-winning 51-yard Harrison Butker field goal on the game's final play, Mahomes has some errors to clean up. Mahomes was picked off in the first quarter and again in the third, with the latter coming soon after a would-be interception was taken off the board by a penalty. Kansas City also caught a couple bad breaks before a defensive pass interference penalty set up the game-winning field goal, as Mahomes had fourth-quarter completions of 41 yards to Travis Kelce and 21 yards to Rice erased by penalties to suppress the star quarterback's stat line.
