After their flight was delayed a few hours on Saturday afternoon, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs made it safely to Denver, Colorado for their Week 18 matchup against the Broncos. The game still kicked off at the scheduled 4:25 p.m. ET time, even with the delay.

Mahomes surprised the Texans and the fans with a couple of early runs, including a 15-yard TD as the Chiefs closed in on the AFC's top seed.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has confirmed that Patrick Mahomes will sit out the trip to Denver, giving the three-time Super Bowl MVP a week of rest after a busy festive period. The Chiefs have already secured No. 1 seed in the AFC and have the luxury of resting players.
