The Chiefs are playing with a sea of red in the crowd in Charlotte, and it didn’t take long for Kansas City to give those fans something to cheer about.
Patrick Mahomes threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Noah Gray, giving the club an early 7-0 lead.
It was Mahomes’ first touchdown pass in the first quarter this season.
Kansas City’s offense was set up for success with a 56-yard kickoff return by Samaje Perine, putting the team at the Carolina 41.
Kareem Hunt rushed for 6 yards in two plays before Mahomes climbed the pocket to find a wide-open Gray 20 yards down the left side. Gray did the rest for his third touchdown in the last two weeks.
