The Chiefs showcased an impressive offensive performance, accumulating a total of 455 yards. The passing game was particularly effective, as they achieved an average of seven yards per attempt and completed 34 out of 46 attempts. This aerial assault contributed to their overall average gain of six yards per play over the course of the game. The quarterback's precision was evident with a completion percentage rounding up to an impressive 74 percent and throwing for two touchdowns.
