It's frustrating for us to watch, but whether it's saving players, not giving teams too much to watch, whatever... they were going to eventually do what everyone thought they should be doing.
I'm curious what happened on the sidelines today. It wasn't just that they started going to Kelce and Rice, and it wasn't that Mahomes came into the game dialed in.... but, he got dialed in. They very quickly got some swagger back that we hadn't seen lately.
Defensively... maybe they were a bit gassed from last week as well as they played in that game, but the Raiders dude was making passes and they have some guys who can catch it.
Overall..... definitely satisfying to see them get into sync on offense. As much as you might say "they'll be fine" and have that confidence, it's always good to see the potential for yourself, even against a sub-500 team. Wouldn't say this game moved the needle a ton for me... not like last week's defensive effort. Glad they un-****ed themselves after being down 14-0 though.

It seemed both the Chiefs and Eagles started real slow after the big game last MNF. Not sure if that was the reason but a possibility to consider.
Once the Chiefs got their footing they dominated despite some strange playcalls and penalties still popping up.
Wanted to see them punch it in 1st and goal from the 5 and not a FG but at least we got the win and positive momentum.
