The Chiefs just lost a little momentum by virtue of a break - that happens. And it impacted their execution a little bit. I don't believe LAC found any secret sauce in those 20 minutes that they didn't see in the week prior. I don't think they had a perfect plan that they effectuated in the 2nd half that they REFUSED to put in place on the last drive of the 1st, the drive that really had them punching uphill the rest of the game.
First half, second half, whatever - the Chiefs scored 31. And racked up a SHITLOAD of yards. They played very similarly to the Denver game with the only real distinction being that they finished drives in the red zone. But both weeks they moved the ball like an elite unit on balance.
The offense is fine. It's not a death star because we don't have offensive superstars on rookie deals. That's going to keep our ceiling a little lower. But it has good players and unless (until?) Rice becomes a true star in his own right, being a very good offense is probably going to have to be acceptable for us.

This is the issue with the offense right here - and why some of us are having trouble with them passing the eye test.
From memory, we scored a TD on like 75% of RZ drives last year - and I'm betting we're in the 50-55% range this year.
