Chiefs rookie receiver Xavier Worthy has as many rushing touchdowns as he does receiving touchdowns.
After the Saints cut the Chiefs’ lead to 16-13, Kansas City answered with a five-play, 68-yard drive. It took only 2:20 for the Chiefs to increase their lead to 23-13.
Worthy’s 3-yard touchdown run came on a handoff from tight end Travis Kelce after he took the snap in the pistol. Worthy had a 21-yard touchdown run against the Ravens in the season opener.
Worthy has two touchdown receptions.
JuJu Smith-Schuster made up for his bobble in the end zone that should have been an easy touchdown but turned into a momentum-changing interception for the Saints. He raced 50 yards to get the Chiefs back on track. Smith-Schuster now leads the Chiefs with 117 yards on six catches.
Patrick Mahomes is 26-of-37 for 303 yards with an interception.
