NFL Week Two results: Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs break Cincinnati Bengals hearts as Alvin Kamara destroys Dallas Cowboys

Cincinnati Bengals 25-26 Kansas City Chiefs
Harrison Butker kicked a 51-yard field goal as time expired as Patrick Mahomes and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs beat the Cincinnati Bengals 26-25 to stay perfect in their quest for a three-peat.

The Bengals looked to be closing in on victory while leading by two with under a minute to play, only to see rookie safety Daijahn Anthony give away a pass interference penalty to gift the Chiefs a first down on fourth-and-16 from their own 35.

It arrived as the latest edition of a familiar rivalry between the two AFC heavy-hitters, Andy Reid’s side getting the better of their opponents on this occasion.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 151 yards and touchdown passes to Rashee Rice and offensive tackle Wanya Morris, as well as throwing two interceptions – including a stunning one-handed grab from Cam Taylor-Britt.

Joe Burrow meanwhile went 23 of 36 for 258 yards and two touchdown strikes to Andrei Iosivas, whose second score gave Cincinnati a 22-17 lead late in the third quarter after Mahomes’ one-yard pass to Morris had lifted Kansas City to their first lead of the game at 17-16.

The Bengals were pegged back again when Chamarri Conner returned Burrow’s fumble for a 38-yard touchdown at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
