Chiefs’ defense looks to rebound by coming out faster in games

In each of the Kansas City Chiefs’ last two games, the team has faced a first-half deficit of at least two scores. Against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Chiefs brushed off the 14-0 hole and cruised to a 31-17 victory — but that wasn’t the case when playing the Green Bay Packers in Week 13.

The Packers’ established a 14-3 lead after two long possessions, giving the Chiefs only one more opportunity to answer in the first half. Kansas City couldn’t rebound from there in the 27-19 loss, despite the defense getting stops in the fourth quarter.
