It was a tale of two halves — not just for the Chiefs’ offense, but for the team in general.
After an extremely impressive 28-point burst in the first half, the offense posted just three in the second half. Long Cincinnati drives minimized opportunities — and with the few drives they did have, Kansas City was unable to put the ball in the end zone.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was nearly flawless in the opening half, finishing the contest completing 26 of 35 passes for 259 passing yards (7.4 yards per attempt), two touchdown passes and no interceptions.
