The Kansas City Chiefs offense struggled to get going against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night, but the tide turned when quarterback Patrick Mahomes scored a touchdown against wide receiver Rashee Rice in the second quarter.

Atlanta was leading by seven points before this spectacular play and had kept Mahomes and the Chiefs’ passing attack in check for the first period of the game.

After leading Kansas City’s offense down the field on the Chiefs’ first drive, Mahomes threw an interception to Falcons safety Justin Simmons.

On Kansas City’s second drive, Mahomes methodically brought the ball into the red zone and was able to find Rice for a touchdown pass, bringing the Chiefs within one point.

When Harrison Butker scored the extra point attempt, the game was officially tied for Kansas City.

Expect Mahomes to continue to look toward Rice as the Chiefs attempt to sustain more long offenses against Atlanta’s stingy defense.
