Rookie Kingsley Suamataia struggled in the Chiefs' victory over the Bengals

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs handed the Cincinnati Bengals a dramatic 26-25 loss. While the team showed plenty of positive signs in the win, there was still room for improvement in almost every phase.

One player who struggled was rookie left tackle Kingsley Suamataia. In his second career start, he was up against one of the league's best pass rushers: Trey Hendrickson. The rookie did not perform well, giving the team (and himself) a good idea about where he stands — and what he must do to improve.
