The Lions and Chiefs played an entertaining first half, but Kansas City was able to take a three-point lead with a touchdown late in the second quarter.
Patrick Mahomes’ 1-yard rushing touchdown gave the Chiefs a 13-10 halftime advantage.
The Chiefs had gotten the ball back at their own 45-yard line with 2:42 left after an incomplete pass from Jared Goff to Amon-Ra St. Brown resulted in a turnover on downs.
Kansas City faced just one third down on the possession and converted it via penalty, as Rock Ya-Sin was flagged for defensive pass interference.
A 17-yard pass from Mahomes to Kelce put the Chiefs on the 1-yard line. And though the Chiefs had a free play with a defensive offside penalty, Mahomes ran it in for a 1-yard score.
That was Mahomes’ fourth rushing touchdown of the season
