The Kansas City Chiefs moved to 4-0 on the season in exhilarating fashion on Monday night, defeating the rival Denver Broncos in front of a national television audience.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes authored two late touchdown drives to erase a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter, and from a left-handed pass to eventually moving the chains despite facing a 2nd-and-30, there wasn't a dull moment.

Folks were excited.

Wait until he faces a real defense, they said...

Wait until he faces a tough road environment, they said...

Wait until he has to bring his team back from behind, they said...

Done waiting. #Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes didn’t put up the video game numbers last night like he did in the first 3 games of the season. But this was his best game. The big plays he made in pressure situations—under duress—were UNBELIEVABLE!

The way @Chiefs players rave about Mahomes is eerily similar to the way we used to talk about Favre when he won 3 straight MVPs w/ @Packers in the mid-1990s . No.4 gave us “hope”.. We knew we just needed to give him a shot & he could win it.. No.15 gives KC belief..That’s Rare

Wow so yea... that’s a big boy win by the Chiefs. I think we can officially say Mahomes is here to stay. Chiefs ran the ball well. Defense did just enough! #CHIEFSKINGDOM

.@PatrickMahomes5 has been the best player in football through the first 4 games of this season, and it’s not particularly close. #MondayNightFootball

Patrick Mahomes can literally throw a ball with his left hand while getting tackled by Von Miller and still end up with a first down... 😳 pic.twitter.com/N2nWyB6iqM

Let's check in on Chiefs Kingdom, shall we?

My heart hasn't stopped pounding. Next week I'm in KC for one of the most difficult games the Chiefs will play all year. I'm ready to lose my voice.
