Bad turnovers and not being able to convert their first drive into a touchdown.
If they convert their first drive and
eight chances within the 12 yard line to a touchdown, that's 30 points... and if you add some points instead of 2 picks and a fumble (one of the picks was pretty nice though), that could be 33 or 36 or 37+.
And that's not crazy what-iffing into "well, if only they played a perfect game"... it's pretty reasonable to assume if they got another
eight chances for a touchdown in that situation, they'd convert; and pretty safe to assume they'd clean up at least one of 3 turnovers and turn it into points.
So, saying they were shut down is a fair stretch when they weren't even that far from scoring 30 on them, even despite Mahomes not having a good day.
