Patrick Mahomes threw three touchdowns as the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Washington Commanders 28-7 on Monday evening.
Following two first-half interceptions, Mahomes found his rhythm after the interval to inspire the Chiefs to win their third consecutive game.
The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) completed 25 of his 34 passes for 299 yards, finding Kareem Hunt, Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce for touchdowns in the second half.
Tight end Travis Kelce enjoyed his best performance of the season, with six catches for 99 yards and a touchdown of his own.
The 36-year-old considered retirement after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl defeat by the Philadelphia Eagles in February but committed to at least another season in March.
The three-time Super Bowl winner said he and Commanders tight end Zach Ertz, 34, are making the most of the time they have left in their career.
“We’re cherishing every single one of these games, not knowing how long we’ll be able to do this,” said Kelce.
The Chiefs have now won four of their last five games, improving their record to five wins and three defeats from eight matches.
The Commanders have lost five of their eight games, winning three.
