It was an encouraging start for the Chiefs’ offense, going 95 yards on their first drive and capping it off with a short run by running back Darrel Williams — but after that, the first half was a struggle.
Once again, ball security plagued the unit. A red-zone trip was halted by an interception that bounced off the hands of wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Two potential field-goal attempts towards the end of the first half were erased by wide receiver Mecole Hardman’s fumble and quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ incredibly poor decision that led to an interception; he has to understand where they’re at on the field and where they are in the game flow.
