WINNER: SECOND QUARTER OFFENSE

No one expected Moore to go toe-to-toe with Rodgers, but he did just that for most of the game. The Chiefs, trailing 14-0 after the first quarter, had a fire lit under them in the second quarter that led them to score 17 unanswered points and hold a lead at the halfway mark.

It was impressive to see the offense come out firing on all cylinders in the second quarter despite the deficit. After that quarter, Chiefs fans actually felt confident that the team could pull out the surprising win.

WINNER: TRAVIS KELCE

With no Mahomes under center, it was important for one of the offensive weapons to step it up and Travis Kelce did just that. Kelce finished his night (on National Tight End Day, nonetheless) with four receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown, his second of the season.

In a game where the receivers and tight ends needed to step up their game, Kelce did just that and was a reliable target for Matt Moore throughout the evening. Yes, Kelce dropped some balls, but he made the best of his receptions.
