If one were picking out games guaranteed to feature both creative playcalling and redzone brilliance at the NFL’s season start, it’s likely that one game would’ve been circled in red ink: Kansas City versus Detroit on Oct. 12, 2025. As the Chiefs worked through rare, early-season hiccups, they seemed to have the remedy on Sunday Night Football against the Lions, headlined by a tricky “pop pass” that encouraged Hollywood Brown’s nine-yard beeline to the endzone. Brown’s synergy with Patrick Mahomes told the story of Week 6’s nightcap perfectly, as the two connected on must-see scores throughout the 30-17 win. Mahomes enjoyed a 289-yard, four-touchdown masterpiece, with Brown complementing through his four-catch, 45-yard, two-score effort.
