All the talk about the decline of the Kansas City Chiefs may have been premature

"All the talk about the decline of the Kansas City Chiefs was apparently premature. With Patrick Mahomes doing his magic and a stout defense, the Chiefs can beat anybody. A convincing 30-17 victory over the Detroit Lions in front of a national audience on Sunday night lifted the Chiefs to 3-3. They've got a long way to go but they're a much better team than the one that started 0-2."

"Mahomes and the offense have regained their mojo and will get a boost when wide receiver Rashee Rice is back from a six-game suspension next week. Xavier Worthy's return from injury already energized the passing attack. The offensive line is settling in and Jaylon Moore was exceptional filling in for Josh Simmons at left tackle against Detroit. "We're not afraid to go up against anybody," Mahomes said."

"Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's unit shut down Detroit's dynamic offense, holding Jared Goff and Co. to just 17 points and 297 yards. "I'm disappointed because it's been a long time since you're watching somebody kneel it two times in front of you and it's not even close. You're down two scores. We got worked pretty good," Lions coach Dan Campbell said. "I felt like this was a game where we needed to score 30 points at least."
