Kansas City Chiefs: 10 Likes and 10 Dislikes from Week 4 vs Detroit
By Cullen Jekel
6. Red Zone Stops
Six times the Detroit Lions reached the Red Zone. They scored only three times. Nnadi came up with a big forced fumble right after the Lions had a touchdown reception overturned, and another time Xavier Williams created a fumble that led to the craziest six points for the Chiefs than I can remember.
7. Offensive Plays at the Goal Line
This game is absurd.

Big credit to Big Red, an avid fan of Mozart, for not overthinking things and trying to get cute those couple of times Kansas City was on Detroit’s 1. Instead, he had Mahomes hand it off to a running back, allowing those guys to follow the linemen into the end zone.
Creative? No.
Vital? Yep.
8. The Hook-&-Ladder
Heads-up play by both Kelce and LeSean McCoy.

9. Butker’s Response
Again, Harrison Butker missed a kick, and again, he responded nicely, making his next two field goal attempts as well as nailing all four of his PATs.
10. A Balanced Rushing Attack
Overall, the Chiefs ran the ball 25 times for 123 yards, good for a 4.9 average. McCoy led the way with 11 rushes for 56 yards and a touchdown. Mahomes added six rushes for 54 yards. And Darrel Williams ran the ball eight times for just 13 yards, but scored two huge touchdowns.
