Ryan Fitzpatrick made Kansas City's D look like they were facing Matt Ryan again with his productive day of 10-of-19 passing, 178 yards and two TDs in the easy win. He added 34 rushing yards as well.

Analysis: Brandon Flowers being back didn't help the Chiefs at all. Fitzpatrick had guys open all over the place and put up a 120.1 passer rating. More impressively, he didn't throw a pick. He was able to find Stevie Johnson for 49 yards for a TD and Scott Chandler for the other one. Buffalo's O will likely be better suited to run the ball, but it's nice to see Fitzpatrick put up some numbers. He should be a high-end QB2 vs. the Haden-less Browns in Week 3.
