We have a barnburner over an NFC North opponent versus another victory over an AFC West opponent. And for probably the only time in this entire tournament, Mahomes didn't throw a touchdown pass in either game.
Who ya got?
2019 - Week 4 - W 34-30 over DET

Chiefs 3-0 / Lions 2-0-1
Is it possible to enjoy a game where Mahomes doesn't throw a touchdown pass? Where our leading yards from scrimmage guy was Lesean McCoy? Where the Chiefs had four fumbles and lost three of them? I contend yes, when you get to see Bashaud Breeland dig a fumble out of the pile and return it 100 yards for a touchdown while everyone else looks confused and also get a Mahomes two-minute drill to win the game. Four sacks by the defense (Jones with a guard-embarrassing sack, Okafar, Matthews, and Nnadi) and 300+ Mahomes yards (aided by a great Kelce lateral to McCoy) knocked the wind out of touted Lions' sails and completely destroyed their season going forward. This game was also notable by Mahomes' patented glance back to the ref before running for a long gain.

Chiefs 7-4 / Broncos 6-5
The most notable play here was Dan Sorensen doing the Deion dance on his way to the end zone during a 75-yard pick-six. The broncos actually slowed Mahomes to one of his least spectacular performances, under 200 yards with no touchdowns. Our main offensive weapons were CEH and Darrel Williams, along with 3 field goals by Butker (including a 56-yarder). The broncos actually outgained us, but the defense pummeled Teddy Bridgewater with 8 QB hits and 2 interceptions, one of which involved Hitchens killing the broncos' center on a block. The defense also forced and recovered a fumble to throttle the bad guys.
