Patrick Mahomes had an interception returned for a touchdown and fizzled down the stretch against the hungry, young Detroit Lions as the defending-champion Chiefs dropped the 2023 season opener, 21-20, on Thursday night in Kansas City.
Mahomes & Co. fell behind early on Thursday at Arrowhead Stadium after Detroit’s Jared Goff found impressive second-year receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown for the first touchdown of the 2023 season.
But the defending champs came storming back in the second quarter as Mahomes connected on a pair of touchdown passes to Rashee Rice and Blake Bell.
Then it was rookie safety Brian Branch’s turn to introduce himself to the NFL with a pick-six, returning the Mahomes offering 50 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 14-14 early in the third quarter.
After a pair of Harrison Butker filed goals pushed Kansas City ahead 20-14, Detroit running back David Montgomery tied the game with an eight-yard touchdown run. Riley Patterson added the extra point for a 21-20 edge.
