The Kansas City Chiefs maintained their winning start to the NFL season with a 26-13 home victory against the New Orleans Saints.
The Chiefs and the Minnesota Vikings are the only two sides with 5-0 records.
Kareem Hunt’s five-yard rushing touchdown helped the reigning champions into a 10-0 lead and the boot of Harrison Butker, who kicked four field goals in the game, always kept them in front on the scoreboard.
Rashid Shaheed caught a 43-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr, who also found Foster Moreau from six yards in the fourth quarter to reduce the Saints’ deficit to three points.
However, Xavier Worthy’s three-yard run into the end zone ensured they fell to a third defeat in five outings this season.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes did not throw a touchdown pass but completed 28 of his 39 attempts for 331 yards.
The Chiefs have a bye week before travelling to face the San Francisco 49ers on 20 October in a rematch of Super Bowl 58 in February, which they won in overtime.
