He took shot after shot down the field, and the Steelers' defense had no answers for him.
Five different receivers hauled in a touchdown from Mahomes, who now has an NFL record 10 touchdown passes through the first two weeks of the season.

The Steelers fought back after falling behind 21-0 early, but had their comeback fall short and their record sink to 0-1-1.
Kansas City, meanwhile, improved to 2-0 with the victory. The Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3, led by the hottest quarterback in the NFL.
Patrick Mahomes for six...
