The 31-0 win gave us the first glimpse of the Kansas City Chiefs' receiver trio of Marquise Brown, Rashee Rice, and Marquise Brown all on the field at the same time.
While the trio wasn't all together that much (reportedly just five snaps), plays were still made with Rice the pick of the bunch with two touchdowns and 42 receiving yards. But the thing about the Chiefs is, aside from those three, there are a host of weapons Andy Reid has to get the ball to, so that can be challenging on a game-by-game basis.
And when discussing how the "big three" played, Reid also stated that due to the abundance of weapons, you can throw it to just about anyone.
"They all contribute, and contributed in that [Raiders] game," Reid said. " You got [Tyquan] Thornton, who also stepped up over the last few weeks, then Juju [Smith-Schuster] in the mix, so you got a load of guys here, and we try to keep them all going so you can throw fastballs the best way you can.
"We weren't counting numbers of those three on the field at the same time, but I know when they were out there, it looked good."

Chiefs offense loaded with talent
It wasn't too long ago that many were concerned due to the lack of talent at Patrick Mahomes' disposal, but now look at his options. Rice, Worthy, Brown, Juju Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, Brashard Smith, Isiah Pacheco, and Kareem Hunt. That is quite the group.
So, while it is natural to focus on the "big three," there are other weapons who simply need to get the ball in their hands (like Kelce) because of the talent they possess. Don't forget, there is only one football, so Mahomes has to do his best to spray it around.
That does sound tiresome, but it is a problem that every team in the NFL wishes they had, because defenses trying to contain that many weapons is an almost impossible task, and if you take away one, two others pop up.
It was the first game of the "big three" being together, and we imagine that the more they are on the field at the same time, the bigger the fireworks will be.
