Kansas City’s 33-29 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday will go down as one of the most memorable season openers in Chiefs history. But not all of it was positive. Tyrann Mathieu’s absence was felt in this game as the Chiefs safeties struggled against the Browns.

The Chiefs went into halftime trailing 22-10, and it could have been worse as Cleveland almost pulled off a miraculous touchdown right before the teams headed to the locker rooms.
