When the Chiefs have the ball

The Chiefs aren’t rattled by close games. They’ve won 17 times in a row in one-score games, including 11 times this season. And they’ve done it by using the clock to their advantage and protecting the ball.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown 288 passes since his last interception. He hasn’t been prolific by his own standards — he had only 177 passing yards in a playoff win against the Texans and 245 in the AFC Championship Game against the Bills.
