Another week, another grind-it-out victory for the reigning AFC champion Chiefs. Even with Aaron Rodgers sidelined due to COVID, Kansas City struggled mightily to put the visiting Packers away on Sunday afternoon at Arrowhead, threatening to allow a Jordan Love-led comeback in the late stages of the two sides’ Week 9 matchup. But Patrick Mahomes did just enough in the end to keep the Chiefs on top, while Steve Spagnuolo’s blitz-heavy defense held the advantage for most of the contest, securing a 13-7 victory to push Kansas City above .500 and drop the Packers to 7-2 on the season.
Stay tuned for takeaways from Sunday’s cross-conference clash.
