“It was a tale of two halves,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid explained after the game.
The first half, which Reid described as “completely unacceptable,” yielded about as many penalty yards (50) as total yards (51).
But in very enigma-like fashion, the second half was a completely different story.
“I thought we clicked the whole second half,” Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said after the game. “I thought we were running the ball well, getting first downs and driving down the field.”
Kelce led the Chiefs with 5 receptions for 88 yards, all of which came in the second half and four of which went for at least 13 yards—the longest being 37.
