          The Kansas City Chiefs took a 7-3 lead in the second quarter on quarterback Patrick Mahomes' 42-yard touchdown pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster.

          Smith-Schuster made the catch at the Buffalo 34 with three Bills defenders in the area. But none made the tackle, and Smith-Schuster spun away and scampered into the end zone.

          It was Smith-Schuster's first receiving touchdown since arriving in Kansas City. It was also Mahomes' 28th passing TD of 40 yards or more since becoming the starter in 2018 -- the most in the NFL over that span.
