From the first play of the game, the Chiefs’ offense could not be stopped by the Chargers’ defense; the only thing stopping them was themselves. In their first two drives, they didn’t face a single third down — but both ended with self-inflicted turnovers. On the third possession, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumbled for the second time in the last two games.
Ball security has become a huge issue for Kansas City. Not only does that negatively affect the offense, it hurts the defense — who played very well to start the game, but can only hold down a high-powered offense for so long.
