After a methodical drive on their second possession, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes found star tight end Travis Kelce for a touchdown that gave Kansas City an early seven-point lead over Dallas.
Watch this video of Mahomes’ touchdown pass to Kelce, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs’ official account:
Kansas City’s playoff aspirations depend on a win in this Christmas matchup, so the Chiefs can’t afford to take their foot off the gas.
Mahomes would do well to continue targeting Kelce in the red zone as he looks to lead Kansas City to its seventh regular-season win.
