The New York Jets gave the Kansas City Chiefs a run for their money on Sunday night, and the defending Super Bowl champions will have some soul-searching to do ahead of their Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Patrick Mahomes threw two interceptions, tackle Jawaan Taylor continued to struggle, and despite a strong showing from their defense, the Chiefs only managed to emerge victorious by a three-point margin.
Second-year running back Isiah Pacheco put together a sensational performance, gaining 115 yards and scoring a touchdown to extend Kansas City’s lead early in the hotly-contested tilt.
Kansas City was heavily favored heading into the game and seemed to play down to their opponent after jumping out to an early 17-point lead.
Chiefs fans and social media personalities took to Twitter to react to the Week 4 win over New York and didn’t hold back in expressing their feelings about the team’s performance.

The Chiefs played an ugly game. But they won, and now sit at 3-1 and atop the AFC alongside the Bills and Ravens.
And for the Jets, they should feel very encouraged. That was a hell of an effort from Zach Wilson

Is this the worst half of football we've seen from #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes since the 2021-2022 AFC title game?

Patrick Mahomes on a bad game had 7.8 EPA while Zach Wilson’s best career game was -0.8 EPA, that’s wild

Anyone says that officials favor the Chiefs clearly has never, ever watched a Chiefs game.

How did I go from a world where the likes of Todd Haley and Romeo Crennel are coaching the chiefs to 2-14 records to a world where Taylor Swift is hugging other A-list celebrities when the world champion Chiefs score a touchdown?

Pacheco MVP of this #SNF #ChiefsKingdom

Good on the Chiefs defense to staunch the bleeding with clutch stops when the game was falling apart.
In previous seasons idk if that happens.
Also, Pacheco is a stud.

today we won twice. not only did the chiefs win and Taylor was there with her close group, but her going to a game felt so much tamer and normal. everyone is slowly calming down

I’ll be totally honest here.
I forgot about the annual October Chiefs loss to a completely random non-playoff team.

The reason we had the Bills ahead of the Chiefs in our projections this year was defense.
Feels about right at the moment.
Jets now have as many points as Miami had against Bills today.

Now all we have to do as Chiefs fans is shake off the adrenaline from the game to get a good nights sleep for Monday morning.
Good luck. 🤞
