How many times in the first half of the season did the Chiefs get into the mid to late second quarter, or even the third quarter in one game, if I remember correctly, before they even achieved thier first first down.
The defense wore down in those games, and it showed.
Especially against the Bills, the Lions, and the Patriots.

Talk about dishonesty.
In the first three games of the year, two of which you mentioned and I've bolded above, the defense gave up 20, 20, and 17 points before halftime. In the first two games, against the Bills and the Lions, the team wasn't so much exhausted, but you could literally see that they had given up. In the third game, against the Chargers, they decided enough was enough and got their heads out of their asses and only allowed 3 pts. in the second half.
You don't recall the defense giving up 109 pts. in the first three games?
Not saying none of that had to do with the offense, b/c some of it, especially the DET game, did. However, I think our entire offense stunk, in every facet to start the season. Haley and Muir hadn't quite gotten the telephone game down yet...
