Chiefs vs. Jets: Top 3 Offensive Plays

A look at three of the best plays for the Chiefs offense against the Jets

Here are three plays from the Chiefs offense that would be included on most highlight reels:

De'Anthony Thomas makes fast people look slow(er)

On the Chiefs' first offensive drive, rookie playmaker De'Anthony Thomas once again showed everyone what makes him such a special player with the ball in his hands.

Thomas takes the handoff on the end-around and goes 26 yards down the field.

As you can see in the video above, the Jets defender looks to have a beat on Thomas, who makes a cut to his left near the 25-yard line and picks up additional yardage.

Coach Reid says they look for ways to get Thomas out in space with the ball, and this big play is a great example of how they did that against the Jets. It was also the biggest play on the first Chiefs drive, which ended with a Jamaal Charles touchdown run from the 1-yard line.

Travis Kelce doing Travis Kelce Things

Kelce leads the Chiefs in receptions (32), yards (419), touchdowns (4) and 20-yard receptions (7) this season.

This long pass play from quarterback Alex Smith to Kelce was the biggest play of the game from the Chiefs offense.

Kelce shows his versatility by lining up split out to the right and is guarded by Antonio Allen, one of the Jets starting cornerbacks.

Kelce breaks free down the field and creates separation with his route out in space, which is especially impressive considering he's a tight end matched up with a cornerback. The video portrays how Kelce creates mismatch problems for defenses.

Smith delivers a perfect pass to Kelce down the field and he turns it up the field for a gain of 34 yards, setting up the Chiefs' second touchdown of the game on just their second drive.

Smith takes hit, delivers perfect touchdown pass to Kelce

Just four plays after De'Anthony Thomas' 78-yard kick return near the end of the first half, Alex Smith hits Kelce on a 12-yard touchdown toss on third-and-5.

For his team-leading fourth touchdown reception of the season, Kelce does a nice job of getting open on the 12-yard strike, but the play was made by Alex Smith standing in the pocket and delivering a perfect pass just moments before taking a big hit by a Jets defender.

While most of the credit normally goes to the back end of the play, this is an example of the kind of toughness Smith shows in every game.

This play, set up by the long kickoff return by Thomas, really changed the momentum in this game as the Chiefs took a 21-7 lead with just 44 seconds remaining in the first half.
