Kansas City finally snagged its first win of 2025, 22-9 over the Giants, with a steadier defensive effort and improved third-down execution fueling the breakthrough. Nick Bolton anchored the unit with 14 tackles as KC harassed Daniel Jones and created timely turnovers to flip momentum.

On offense, Tyquan Thornton connected on a key long play that helped set up Kareem Hunt’s score, while Patrick Mahomes delivered the plays that mattered most—plus a heads-up scramble to erase a potential touchdown after a backward pass. The win gives Chiefs Kingdom a blueprint to build on as the season progresses.
