After…

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — There are two ways to look at the Kansas City Chiefs’ season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil.The pessimist will say that the Chiefs hardly looked like Super Bowl contenders. Their defense allowed Justin Herbert to throw for more than 300 yards and three touchdowns. Their offense struggled to consistently move the ball.
