The Kansas City Chiefs got an immediate impact from safety Tyrann Mathieu making his season debut against the Ravens after coming off the COVID list.
The Chiefs missed Tyrann Mathieu in Week 1 after he came off the COVID-19 list. He reminded all of Kansas City, Baltimore and America of what a critical presence he is on the football field in the first quarter against the Ravens.
