KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — One of the things that has made Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes so dynamic is his ability to unload a pass to his deep and talented group of wide receivers from seemingly impossible spots. He’s thrown touchdown passes sidearm, like a third baseman quickly unloading across the diamond, and underhand, like a second baseman starting a double play, along with those deep downfield throws on which his mechanics are as finely tuned as those of his new Ferrari.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have regained the top spot in the latest AP Pro32 poll. The Chiefs inched up a spot after holding off the Denver Broncos. The New Orleans Saints moved up a place to No. 2. The Pittsburgh Steelers slipped two places from No. 1 after losing to Washington on Monday night.
