Josh Downs already showed off a great connection with Patrick Mahomes in his Kansas City debut, scoring a touchdown in the Chiefs' matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon.
Downs has been playing in the NFL since 2023, going through his first season with the Chiefs. He started the 2026 campaign with the Indianapolis Colts before the team traded him and a seventh-round pick to Kansas City for a fourth and fifth-round pick.
This paved the way for Downs to start developing chemistry with Mahomes. He has gone through shaky displays in the Colts offense due to inconsistent quarterback play, but he won't have to worry about that with the Chiefs.
Cue in his touchdown score in the second quarter. Kansas City got to continue its drive despite making a field goal due to an offside penalty Atlanta committed. Mahomes didn't waste any time, firing the touchdown pass to Downs to add onto the Chiefs lead.
