Fans had to be pleasantly surprised with the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 1 victory over the Houston Texans. With a shortened offseason program and no preseason, it was fair to expect sloppy play — but the Chiefs mostly negated that narrative. They only had one penalty, didn’t commit any turnovers and had the game put away by the first minutes of the fourth quarter.
They may have bucked that narrative for the opener, but it caught up with the Chiefs when they traveled to face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2.
