Absent Patrick Mahomes, their two best pass rushers (Frank Clark, Chris Jones) and their top cover man (Kendall Fuller), the Chiefs would have appeared to be overmatched. But Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo put together a tough game plan and kept the Packers off-balance with their attack.
The Packers jumped out to a quick start with a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, built on explosive plays and perfect use of the team’s dynamic duo of running backs. But the lead wouldn’t hold up for very long.
