Sorry, but that's not on the offense.
The turnovers certainly helped turn the game after halftime, but Baltimore's offense had their way from the opening gun.
Total team loss. Bad on offense. Bad on defense.

That would be plausible but for the fact that the score was 10-7 at halftime. The Chiefs had the ball just 10 minutes in the first half. Baltimore cannot conduct long drives while KC has the ball.
