Chiefs quarterback Justin Herbert led the charge, throwing for 283 yards and three touchdowns, while running back Tavarres White added a powerful 109 rushing yards to the mix.

Defensively, the Chiefs were equally impressive, with Antoine Winfield Jr. snagging an interception that shifted momentum in their favor. The turning point came early in the second quarter when Winfield's pick set up a quick touchdown drive, extending Kansas City's lead to 21-3.
