Chiefs rushing offense (F): For the second time this year, the Chiefs simply couldn’t match the physical might of Oakland’s front.

Chiefs passing offense (F): Brady Quinn threw plenty of short passes that did little damage.

Chiefs rushing defense (D-): The Chiefs were frequently blown off the ball.

Chiefs passing defense (C-): The Chiefs forced one fumble but otherwise failed to pressure Carson Palmer into mistakes.

Chiefs special teams (B+): A great game by Dustin Colquitt but, of course, it didn’t matter.

Chiefs coaching (D): There’s little imagination to KC’s offensive plan but perhaps they don’t have the players to make it work.

First quarter

Key play: Justin Houston tipped a third-down pass from the Chiefs’ 2 that forced Oakland to kick a field goal.

Fourth quarter

Key play: Quinn’s fourth down pass to Jon Baldwin with more than nine minutes left was incomplete, ending Kansas City’s last good scoring chance.

Key stat: The Chiefs were 0 for 3 on fourth down in the period.
