Patrick Mahomes threw three touchdowns as the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Washington Commanders 28-7 on Monday evening. <\/p>\n

Following two first-half interceptions, Mahomes found his rhythm after the interval to inspire the Chiefs to win their third consecutive game.<\/p>\n

The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) completed 25 of his 34 passes for 299 yards, finding Kareem Hunt, Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce for touchdowns in the second half. <\/p>\n

Tight end Travis Kelce enjoyed his best performance of the season, with six catches for 99 yards and a touchdown of his own. <\/p>\n

The 36-year-old considered retirement after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl defeat by the Philadelphia Eagles in February<\/a> but committed to at least another season in March. <\/p>\n

The three-time Super Bowl winner said he and Commanders tight end Zach Ertz, 34, are making the most of the time they have left in their career.<\/p>\n

“We’re cherishing every single one of these games, not knowing how long we’ll be able to do this,” said Kelce. <\/p>\n

The Chiefs have now won four of their last five games, improving their record to five wins and three defeats from eight matches.<\/p>\n

The Commanders have lost five of their eight games, winning three. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Patrick Mahomes threw three touchdowns as the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Washington Commanders 28-7 on Monday evening.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-245957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
