Patrick Mahomes played one of his worst game as a pro, completing just 20 of his 35 pass attempts for 206 yards. He threw an interception, moving him into tied for first in the NFL, and failed to throw a touchdown in a start for the fourth time in his NFL career.
Kansas City trailed 27—0 at halftime and while it held Tennessee scoreless in the second half, it mustered up just three points coming out of the locker room.
