Around the AFC West: Week 3

The Kansas City Chiefs approved to 3-0 with a 22-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. Patrick Mahomes threw for 217 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the game. Carson Steele, filling in for the injured Isiah Pacheco, carried the ball 17 times for 72 yards. Rashee Rice has replaced Travis Kelce as the number one option in the passing game. Rice had 12 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown on Sunday night. The Chiefs travel to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers next week.

Jim Harbaugh suffered his first loss as the head coach of the Chargers when his team fell 20-10 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Justin Herbert came into the game hobbled with an ankle injury and had to leave the game late in the fourth quarter after reaggravating that injury. Herbert was 12 of 18 for 125 yards and a touchdown while he was in the game. It was tough sledding for the whole offense as they put up just 168 yards of total offense on the day. They will look to get back on track against the Chiefs in week four.

The Las Vegas Raiders had no answers to the Red Rifle in their 36-22 loss on Sunday. Gardner Minshew threw a late pick and was replaced by Aidan O’Connell. In the one drive that he got, O’Connell was able to complete nine of twelve passes for 82 yards. Of course, that came against the Carolina Panthers’ defense that was largely playing prevent. Davante Adams had nine targets on the day but only four catches for 40 yards.  The Raiders take on the Cleveland Browns in week four.

Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos got their first win of the year on Sunday with their 26-7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Nix threw for 216 yards and ran for 47 yards and a touchdown in the win. Courtland Sutton had his best game of the season catching seven passes for 68 yards. The Broncos defense really stepped up in this one sacking Baker Mayfield seven times. The Broncos play the New York Jets on Sunday.
