Over half of the points scored by the Kansas City Chiefs in their preseason Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders can be attributed to the budding connection between two players — QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Jody Fortson.
Just days after Mahomes named Fortson as one of the team’s standout players of training camp, the fourth-year tight end went off in the preseason against Washington. The pair combined for two catches for 12 yards and two touchdowns on the night. It was a significant milestone for Fortson, who hadn’t played in a game since October 17th of 2021, when he suffered a season-ending non-contact Achilles injury.
