Patrick Mahomes throws for over 300 yards as Chiefs remain unbeaten with win over Saints

FOX Sports' Peter Schrager joins Colin Cowherd to break down how the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated despite losing their key players.

The Kansas City Chiefs looked like the two-time defending Super Bowl champions that they are in a big 26-13 win over the New Orleans Saints on Monday night.

The Chiefs got started early turning a Derek Carr interception into a touchdown on their first offensive drive. The Chiefs got into a grove as Kansas City scored on four of their first five drives before the half.

Kansas City would put the finishing touches on their win when Travis Kelce lined up as the quarterback near the goal line. He handed the ball off to Xavier Worthy who ran it into the end zone for a 3-yard score.

Patrick Mahomes got Kelce involved in the game a ton. Even as he didn’t score a touchdown, Kelce had nine catches on 10 targets for 70 yards.

Veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster led the way with seven catches for 130 yards. It was the first time Smith-Schuster was over 100 yards receiving since 2022 against the San Francisco 49ers. It was his first stint with the Chiefs.

Mahomes finished 28-of-39 passing for 331 yards. He had one interception and zero touchdown passes.
