WINNER: MATT MOORE

No, Matt Moore vs Aaron Rodgers didn’t quite have the same ring to it as Mahomes vs Rodgers, but Moore came to play on Sunday night! He just about went blow for blow with Rodgers, going 24 of 36 for 267 yards and two touchdown passes.

Moore isn’t the same player that Mahomes is, but he filled in beautifully on Sunday and it had to make Chiefs fans feel much better about not having Mahomes out there next week either. Moore didn’t make any dumb mistakes and he kept the Chiefs in the game throughout. That’s all fans could ask of him.

WINNER: PASS RUSH

The Chiefs pass rush has finally arrived! After totaling nine sacks against the Broncos last week, the pass rush continued its hot streak, sacking Aaron Rodgers five times. Tanoh Kpassagnon was another big winner this week, notching two of those five sacks while Damien Wilson, Emmanuel Ogbah, and rookie Khalen Saunders also got in on the action.

With no Frank Clark or Chris Jones, it didn’t seem like there’d be much pass rush at all this week, but Steve Spagnuolo dialed up pressure and the Chief got after Rodgers time and time again.
