Quarterback Patrick Mahomes passed for 416 yards, going 31-for-42 with five touchdowns Sunday, as the Kansas City Chiefs blasted the New York Jets, 35-9, at Kansas City, Mo.

The victory was the 229th of Chiefs coach Andy Reid's career (including playoffs), tying legendary Green Bay coach Curly Lambeau for fifth on the all-time NFL list.

The Chiefs (7-1) led 21-9 at halftime, but midway through the third quarter, when they reached the red zone, they uncharacteristically came away empty. Mahomes atoned for that rare shortfall by completing passes on all six plays on their next possession -- an 83-yard scoring march. He connected with Demarcus Robinson for a 26-yard touchdown for a 28-9 lead with 2:15 remaining in the quarter.

Tight end Travis Kelce caught eight passes for 109 yards, while Tyreek Hill snagged touchdown passes of 36 and 41 yards, the second sealing the outcome early in the fourth quarter.

Playing his second game since he was released by the Jets and acquired by the Chiefs, two-time All-Pro running back Le'Veon Bell gained 7 yards on six rushing attempts and caught three passes for 31 yards. Kansas City totaled 496 yards (7.4 yards per snap), with 25 first downs.

The Jets (0-8) remained the only winless NFL team, and saw their string of quarters without a touchdown extended to six while they generated just 221 total yards.

New York trailed by 12 at halftime and then went three-and-out on its first three series of the second half before losing a fumble late in the third quarter. Playing without his two top receivers, Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman, quarterback Sam Darnold finished 18 of 30 passing for 133 yards.

The Jets' only scoring came on Sergio Castillo field goals. He connected from 39, 55 and 48 yards in the first half, but a 47-yard attempt at the end of the half was blocked by the Chiefs' Armani Watts.

Mahomes completed his first seven attempts and fired three first-half touchdowns to help Kansas City establish a 21-9 halftime lead. Mecole Hardman took a push pass on a jet sweep and went for a 30-yard score, and Hill gained separation in the end zone to catch his first TD from Mahomes.

Kansas City's last scoring drive of the half came as Kelce caught four passes, including the 5-yard touchdown 58 seconds before the intermission.
