"Once the Chiefs reached the red zone on their opening possession, Rice recorded two receptions behind the line of scrimmage, the latter ending in a 2-yard touchdown, his first score in his season debut after finishing his six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Rice celebrated by using his right foot to punt the ball into the stands and pound his chest several times before being congratulated by his teammates."
""Just a lot of passion," Rice said of his emotions at that moment. "I had to get the first one out of the way. I probably won't be punting the ball anymore, but I had to bring the juice, the spark to the offense for the first touchdown of the game." In his long-awaited return -- after not playing for more than a year because of his suspension"
Rashee Rice made his season debut after a six-game suspension and a prior season-ending knee injury, immediately contributing two touchdowns and seven receptions for 42 yards. He scored on Kansas City’s opening red-zone drive and celebrated emphatically by kicking the ball into the stands and pounding his chest. The Chiefs scored on each of their first five possessions, allowing many starters, including Patrick Mahomes, to rest the fourth quarter. Rice emphasized the passion of the moment and said his absence gave him a renewed appreciation for playing with his teammates. Rice’s return restored the full set of skill-position targets for Mahomes.
