The fact is Andy and Nagy called a poor second half game. Baltimore took away the first half strengths and KC couldn't adjust.

Patrick was definitely being cautious with his throws in the 2nd half. He even took some sacks instead of forcing the ball into coverage at times. He was doing everything possible to avoid turnovers, which were a major problem for him during the regular season.
I also think Andy's playcalling was more conservative in some situations, like when he did back to back rushing plays on 1st and 2nd down even though the 1st down play went for zero yardage.
