In the duel of the star quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes has taken revenge on Tom Brady for the loss in Super Bowl LV.

Cologne (SID) – In the duel of the star quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes took revenge on Tom Brady for the loss in Super Bowl LV. The Kansas City Chiefs won 41-31 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Matchday 4 of the American professional football league NFL. Mahomes (27) and Brady, 18, each finished with three touchdown passes.

“We wanted to win. Also to get our season going,” Mahomes said, “Coming here to this stadium and winning a game was special.” Nearly two years ago, the Chiefs were down 9-31 to Tampa in the Super Bowl at Raymond James Stadium.

While the Chiefs are at three wins and one loss, the Bucs’ record is even. The only NFL team with a perfect record of four wins is the Philadelphia Eagles after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 29-21.

Another star quarterback had double reason to celebrate: Aaron Rodgers led the Green Bay Packers to a 27-24 win over the New England Patriots – and in the process became only the fifth player in league history to record the 500th touchdown pass of his career.

The Detroit Lions, without their strong German pass receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle injury), conceded their third defeat in a 45-48 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Kicker Dominik Eberle, making his first appearance for the Lions, kicked a field goal, but the 26-year-old also missed two of four extra points.

The Minnesota Vikings had already won the first “International Game” of the current NFL season on Sunday afternoon. One and a half months before the eagerly awaited premiere of the elite class in Germany, the Vikings beat the New Orleans Saints 28:25 in London on Sunday.

Four more NFL games are scheduled outside the USA in the coming weeks, including a meeting between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and quarterback icon Brady and the Seattle Seahawks in Munich on 13 November.
