Look at the context. There was nothing wrong with the first drive--we got to a makeable 3rd and 2 and then 4th and 1 and failed to convert. But lack of using Charles in that situation was a non-factor. On the second drive, an intentional grounding call forced a 2nd and 20. In that long-yardage territory, hard to ask Charles to be the go-to guy. On the third drive, we INT'd on the second play. That put the score to 23-7 and Charles could not be a part of the gameplan.

So really, you're talking about first down on the second drive of the second half and 1st down (carry went to Jones) and second down on the third drive of the second half. You're talking about three plays where we should have given the ball to Charles and didn't.

The Chiefs lost for a lot of reasons. I don't know how anyone could say not giving the ball to Charles was one of them.
