EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Mistakes and penalties threatened to derail the Kansas City Chiefs again early in a season that had not been going their way. Patrick Mahomes made a couple himself.
“I kept throwing the ball backwards,” Mahomes said. “That’s not good.”
Mahomes recovered his backward pass, had plenty of good throws going forward and helped the Chiefs pick up their first win of the season by beating the New York Giants 22-9 on Sunday night. Coach Andy Reid called it “a good win to get, in particular when you haven’t had one.”
