A week is a long time in football. That statement rings especially true when you look at the Kansas City Chiefs’ last two games. The Chiefs went from playing their most undisciplined game in years against the Jacksonville Jaguars to turning in a near-flawless performance in a 30-17 win over the Detroit Lions just six days later. It’s hard to find two games that were more different.
A week ago, the Chiefs had just lost to the Jaguars in a game riddled with miscues. There were penalties, missed tackles, a pick-six, a kickoff blunder, a comical game-losing touchdown, and more penalties.
