That’s the whole reason teams defer until the second half. It gives you a chance to score back to back and really put pressure on the other team. Hopefully Mahomes learned that lesson and also learned that scoring too quickly almost as bad as not scoring at all. With our defense we should just consider that giving the ball back to the opponent with more than 15 seconds left is bad clock management. We almost lost the Denver game due to poor clock manangement too.

On the last Denver drive, KC ate up a lot of clock, but you have to remember that the #1 goal when trailing is to take the lead, not run off clock. People complaining about the 75 yard score to Hill are crazy. Could you imagine if Hill stopped and KC failed to score on the drive, losing 33-40?
You have a defense for a reason. They were a yard away from stopping NE and giving the all back to the Chiefs.
You NEVER pass upon opportunities to score.
