I think the 2 penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct on the Chiefs defensive lineman #95 and Tyrann Mathieu in the 1st qtr should not have been called but the other penalties were pretty obvious and costly mistakes.
I did not think the Chiefs would only score 9 points even with them missing 2 starting offensive lineman thought they would adjust they knew for 2 weeks the one was not going to play but Tampa Bay had a little better game plan. Mahomes really did some amazing scrambling and incredible throws that were catchable but just did not happen. I think K.C. should not have given up so quickly on the run and some other plays just to slow the pass rush down some. Also he did get them to jump offsides once so I do not remember really any hard counts from him from that point forward.
I still wonder I know K.C. practiced at home and traveled Saturday afternoon while Tampa Bay it was essentially a home game minus crowd noise. So them having no real travel and having 2 weeks of being in a regular season like home game where you have a familiar schedule for practice as also some may have homes close to the stadium sleeping in there own bed and so forth.
Well next year will be a chance for maybe the Rams or unless the Chargers really super upgrade at positions as they are still rebuilding plus play K.C. twice a year will need a few years. So the Rams have a chance to have what Tampa Bay had last night, home field. 🤔
It is going to be an interesting off Season with a lot of movement and which teams do well in the Draft along with Free Agency or bringing back key players.
