C+ Chiefs
Credit Kansas City for rallying to take the lead after falling in an early 11-point hole. But the Chiefs weren’t able to put the game away after stealing momentum late in the first half and keeping it until midway through the fourth quarter. One big issue for the Chiefs offense was that the Bengals had a lot of success containing Travis Kelce while limiting the impact of Kansas City’s other skill players. Defensively, the Chiefs’ inability to make the Bengals one dimensional proved costly.
Chiefs stumble down the stretch.
