Four-Point Stance

It was the 66th game of his career with two-plus touchdown passes, surpassing Dan Marino for most in NFL history by a quarterback in his first seven seasons; Mahomes is in Year 6 as the starter.
Two: Packers QB Jordan Love is coming off another strong performance. In an upset win at Detroit, he completed 22-of-32 passes for 268 yards with three touchdowns and a 125.5 rating. In 11 starts, he’s had three games of three touchdown passes. He is looking for his fourth consecutive game of at least two touchdown passes. From Games 2 through 7, Love averaged 6.00 yards per attempt. The last four games: 8.77, 7.23, 8.06 and 8.38.
Three: Chiefs coach Andy Reid was Packers’ the tight ends/assistant offensive line coach from 1992 through 1996 and quarterbacks coach in 1997 and 1998.
“This is corny, but he (Mike Holmgren) said, ‘I’m going to promise you I’m going to hire you someday.’ He did, he was good on his promise,” Reid told reporters in Kansas City. He added: “I worked for Mike Holmgren for the seven years and had a hard time believing anybody did it better and I still feel that way. He was a great head football coach, great offensive mind, so I was very fortunate to get into that situation.”
Four: Green Bay has allowed 22 sacks, sixth-fewest. Kansas City’s defense has 37 sacks, fourth-most.
“We got one of the best defenses in the league coming in here on Sunday Night Football, so it’s going to be a great challenge for our guys,” LaFleur said. “A couple years ago, we went against the Chiefs at their place and they really shut our offense down. They do a really good job, apply a lot of pressure. They’re a very physical unit and just very aggressive.”
