Patrick Mahomes’ Hail Mary attempt on fourth-and-10 from the 33-yard line falls incomplete as time expires and the Packers hold on for the 29-17 win. Green Bay improves to 4-1 in its last five games and 6-6 on the season.
Wild sequence in Green Bay. After Chiefs WR Rashee Rice appeared to fumble, Packers CB Corey Ballentine picked up the ball and ran 68 yards for the touchdown.
During the return Chiefs RB Isaih Pacheco got into it with Packer CB Keisean Nixon and Pacheco was ejected for throwing a punch.
The fumble was reversed upon review and Kansas City resumed possession first-and-10 at the 50-yard line.

The Chiefs are driving late but have to do so without one of theit top players.
Chiefs take over down eight with less than two minutes to play.
Patrick Mahomes is seeking his 17th career fourth-quarter comeback (including playoffs) and second such win this season (Week 4 at Jets).
After going 2-4 on field goals the previous two weeks, Packers kicker Anders Carlson is now 2-for-2 tonight following that 48-yard make (also hit from 40 earlier in fourth quarter).
That Christian Watson slide did not look great. He tried going down to keep the clock going and did, but now he's being checked by trainers.
Packers CB Keisean Nixon picks off Patrick Mahomes, Nixon's first interception of the season and second of his career.
Mahomes has been picked off six times in six road games this season, matching his season high.
Keisean Nixon with an incredible interception of Mahomes.
After the Chiefs cut into the Packers’ lead once again on a 2-yard Patrick Mahomes touchdown pass to Noah Gray, the defense gets a stop and gives the ball back to the offense.
Kansas City is looking to open the second half with three straight TD drives for the first time since Week 7 of last season against the 49ers.
Isiah Pacheco with a wild 13-yard run down to the 1-yard line, thanks to some help from his teammates.
Packers run defense getting bullied again tonight. Couple times they've been pushed a couple more yards downfield after first contact.
The Packers just had to burn a timeout on defense in the third quarter because they had 10 guys on the field.
Head coach Matt LaFleur NOT happy with Keisean Nixon, who was on the sideline.
Jordan Love has matched his career high with three touchdown passes, a total he’s hit in four games this season.
Aaron Rodgers had one three-touchdown game all of last season.
Just like that, the Packers answer the Chiefs’ score with a seven-play, 67-yard scoring drive of their own, capped by a 12-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Love to Christian Watson, their second of the day.
Watson now has more touchdown grabs in the last five quarters (three) than he had in his first seven games this season combined (two).
The Chiefs cut into the Packers’ lead with a nine-play, 75-yard scoring drive coming out of halftime capped by a 1-yard rushing touchdown by Isaih Pacheco.
It’s the second straight game that Kansas City has scored a touchdown on their first offensive drive of the second half and its fifth such TD this season, tied with the 49ers and Commanders for most in the NFL.
Cart coming out for Chiefs safety Bryan Cook, who appeared to injury his left ankle.
The Chiefs snapped a three-game second-half scoreless streak in last week’s come-from-behind win over the Raiders (outscored Las Vegas 17-3 after half).
Despite last week’s rally, Kansas City still entered the night averaging a league-low 6.4 second-half points per game this season.
Rookie left tackle Wanya Morris is starting in the second half in place of Donovan Smith.
Donovan Smith is questionable to return with a neck injury.
