Death, taxes, and Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes’ top target, Travis Kelce, showed up in a big way against the Bills, catching five passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns.
The San Francisco 49ers defense came up huge in their 24-21 win over the Green Bay Packers. 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw made eight total tackles and two interceptions, including the game-sealing fourth-quarter pick. Greenlaw was named PFF’s Defensive Player of the Week.
