First Quarter

The game began with both teams displaying strong defensive plays. The Chiefs' defense managed to force two three-and-outs early on, showcasing their ability to pressure opposing offenses. Chris Jones was particularly effective, contributing significantly with his tackles for loss.

Second Quarter

As the second quarter unfolded, Patrick Mahomes connected on a long pass play for a touchdown that spanned 49 yards to Tyquan Thornton. This pivotal moment brought excitement to GEHA Field and gave hope to fans as it put points on the board for Kansas City.

Third Quarter

In an intense third quarter, Isiah Pacheco led a series of rushing attempts that advanced Kansas City's position on several drives. Despite these efforts and gaining nine first downs through rushing plays overall in the game, they struggled against Philadelphia's resilient defense when approaching scoring opportunities.

Fourth Quarter

The fourth quarter saw Harrison Butker successfully convert one field goal attempt from 56 yards out but missed another crucial opportunity later in this period which could have tied up scores between both teams once more before time expired.

Despite valiant efforts by players like Nick Bolton who recorded six combined tackles throughout all four quarters played today - ultimately falling short due largely due penalties incurred during key moments such as those committed by Charles Omenihu resulting directly into giving away first downs towards opponents instead!
