It all came down to defense...or lack thereof

And let the defense know they have their back. Instead, the Chiefs went 3 and out on the second drive. In the third drive, they wasted an opportunity to put points on the board because Cassel held on to the ball for an eternity.

The defense is responsible for the loss. But again, Cassel is the guy who put the game out of reach by not making plays on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th drives.
