The heroes and zeros from the Giants’ 22-9 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday night.
Hero
Patrick Mahomes wasn’t at his best, but he made enough throws and eluded enough tackles to outlast the Giants in Kansas City’s first win of the season. He helped ice the game with a 33-yard pass to Tyquan Thornton to the 1-yard-line.

Russell Wilson, terrible in the first game of the season versus Washington and tremendous last week against Dallas, put up another ugly performance Sunday night. The deep passing game was gone and he threw a brutal interception in the end zone, as well as an intentional grounding in the end zone late in the fourth quarter.
Unsung Hero
Linebacker Nick Bolton led a Chiefs defense that overwhelmed the Giants much of the night.
