A couple of more opportunities for the offense in the first half and the outcome would have been different. Blame the defense on this loss. Dee Ford gets extra helpings.

Andy Reid is known for his first 15 scripted plays. KC had success with it all year. NE shut them down. First two drives killed no time and had negative yards. That's on the offense. KC taking itself out of field goal range in the first half - on the offense. All year long everyone knew the O had to carry the D and they didn't help one damn bit for the first 30 minutes.
