SportsBeat KC: Not exactly a confidence-inspiring game, but Chiefs will take the win
File it under “Chiefs Will Take Any Victory They Can Get Right Now.”
Yes, they were able to outlast the New York Giants 20-17 at Arrowhead Stadium Monday, but the game’s progression and outcome didn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Once again, the offense was off, and turnovers were still a problem. The Chiefs’ two giveaways increased their NFL-leading total to 19 this season.
The defense came up big in the beginning and end, with Willie Gay Jr.’s early interception setting up the Chiefs’ first touchdown and a pair of sacks snuffing the Giants’ final possession.
Star columnists Vahe Gregorian and Sam Mellinger and beat writers Sam McDowell and Herbie Teope hung around as the Arrowhead parking lots cleared to discuss the game on our SportsBeat Live stream.
That show is presented here as today’s episode of our daily SportsBeat KC podcast.
