The Kansas City Chiefs defense stepped up against the Seattle Seahawks with a 24-10 home victory in Week 16. The Chiefs remain in the race for the conference lead as they add a much-needed Christmas Eve win.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions from the Week 16 victory on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium:
Kadarius Toney scores after juggling pop-pass from Patrick Mahomes
After his hamstring injury, the Chiefs didn’t take long to assimilate Kadarius Toney back into the offense. The speedy receiver juggled the pop-pass from Patrick Mahomes but still managed to accelerate past defenders for the game’s opening touchdown. Twitter commentators immediately took notice and shared their thoughts on the score.

Game-planning for either Kadarius Toney or Mecole Hardman must be really annoying.
Toney showed why there, and Hardman could be back soon for the #Chiefs. That duo has played a grand total of one game together this season.
Chiefs' RZ offense stonks are 📈

It is so good to have Kadarius Toney back; dude has such speed and elusiveness and the offense has another gear when he’s on the field

Some dudes just look different with the ball in their hands. Kadarius Toney is one of those dudes. pic.twitter.com/I4nrnkJ6aN

Juan Thornhill will probably not have an easier interception in his career than that one.
