The Kansas City Chiefs topped the New Orleans Saints on Monday night, 26-13, to start the 2024 season with five straight wins. Xavier Worthy and Kareem Hunt had touchdowns.
The Kansas City Chiefs looked like the two-time defending Super Bowl champions that they are in a big 26-13 win over the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. The Chiefs got started early turning a Derek Carr interception into a touchdown on their first offensive drive. The Chiefs got into a grove as Kansas City scored on four of their first five drives before the half.
Kansas City would put the finishing touches on their win when Travis Kelce lined up as the quarterback near the goal line. He handed the ball off to Xavier Worthy who ran it into the end zone for a 3-yard score. Patrick Mahomes got Kelce involved in the game a ton. Even as he didn’t score a touchdown, Kelce had nine catches on 10 targets for 70 yards. Veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster led the way with seven catches for 130 yards.
Kareem Hunt scored a touchdown and had 102 rushing yards on the night. Carr and the Saints seemed like things were going to click. In the second quarter, Carr threw a long pass to Rashid Shaheed for a 43-yard touchdown. The scored was 10-7 at that point. But New Orleans wouldn’t score again until early in the fourth quarter when Carr found Foster Moreau. Shaheed had four catches for 86 yards.
New Orleans moved to 2-3 after starting the year firing on all cylinders. The Saints have an early divisional matchup at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
