Patrick Mahomes threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns to spark the host Kansas City Chiefs over the Washington Commanders 28-7 on Monday in an NFL game.

Despite being stopped on his first two drives by interceptions for the first time in his career, three-time Super Bowl winner Mahomes completed 25-of-34 passes and revived the Chiefs after being tied 7-7 at halftime.

“We just executed better,” said Mahomes of the second-half fightback. “They had more energy than we did starting the game off, their defense versus our offense.

“We just had way more energy in the second half. We executed at a higher level, didn’t turn the ball over and our defense held strong.”

The Chiefs improved to 5-3, tying the Los Angeles Chargers for second in the AFC West division, while Washington slid to 3-5.
