Chad Henne directs 98-yard touchdown drive for Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes went out with an ankle injury.

Chad Henne came in Saturday at Arrowhead and the result was the same: A Kansas City Chiefs touchdown.

Henne, who played in 18 plays all season, led a 12-play, 98-yard drive.

Improbable.

Henne, who used to be a Jacksonville Jaguar, was 5-of-7 for 23 yards. The most important 3 feet came on a pass from the veteran backup to Travis Kelce, who had his second TD catch of the game.

The big play on a huge drive was a 39-yard run by rookie Isiah Pacheco, which took the ball to Jacksonville’s 4-yard line.

After the PAT by Harrison Butker, the Chiefs led 17-7 with less than 4 minutes to go until halftime.
