In the end, the Kansas City playmakers did what they do: they made plays — and the Chiefs escaped a Week 1 scare.

Mahomes was able to connect on a few big first-half plays with Tyreek Hill, who put in 96 receiving yards before halftime.

The lack of an effective running game — Clyde Edwards-Helaire averaged just one yard per carry in the first half — allowed the Browns to focus on defending the pass.

This re-commitment to the ground game allowed the Chiefs to maintain balance and rhythm — while keeping the Browns on their heels.

Down big at halftime with a shaky-looking defense, Mahomes led Kansas City on an uphill battle.

Offensive Player of the Game: Tyreek Hill.

In the first half, the Chiefs gave up seven yards a carry to Cleveland running backs.

The successful running game allowed Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield to get in a play-action groove — and prior to intermission, Kansas City struggled to find an answer.

The Browns nearly scored on a backyard play at the end of the first half, but the Chiefs prevented a late score to take a 22-10 deficit into the locker room.
