Quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads Kansas City Chiefs to eighth consecutive season-opening win

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs won't miss Tyreek Hill at all if Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals is any indication.

Mahomes threw for 360 yards and five touchdowns in the Chiefs' 44-15 win. It was the Chiefs' eighth straight season-opening win.

Mahomes has delivered at least three touchdown passes in the last five season openers. He became the Chiefs starter in 2018.

Mahomes spread the ball to nine different receivers. Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire caught two touchdown passes with tight ends Travis Kelce and Jody Fortson and wide receiver Mecole Hardman each getting one.
