Watch: Chiefs' Smith finds Hunt for 78-yard go-ahead TD

Who said Alex Smith can't throw the deep ball?

Smith is putting his skeptics to rest during Thursday's opener against the New England Patriots, finding rookie running back Kareem Hunt for a 78-yard score to give the Kansas City Chiefs a 28-27 lead.

Early in the fourth quarter, Smith is out-dueling his counterpart Tom Brady as the Chiefs try to fend off the defending champs.
