"It was hitting us up," Smith said. "Adjust inside the run amusement, seeing confusion, inside-outside, in the passing diversion, fast screens, tossing the ball downfield, extending the field – that is the thing that we hang our cap on, to have the capacity to be numerous and do many stuff."
The Chiefs barely had an opportunity to showcase that the initial four weeks of the season.

"Any colleague that considerations," the veteran quarterback said, "definitely, you know they wear it."
Things being what they are, about that plan for achievement – precisely how well did the Chiefs passage in tailing it?
All things considered, they kept running for 183 yards while tossing for 223 yards, exactly the sort of split that they discover perfect.
Taking the weight off Smith permitted him to finish 19 of 23 passes, and the way that he was just sacked once was a major reason he found the middle value of more than 10 yards for each endeavor.

"To have a man like that to have the capacity to control such a great amount of ability in the wide collectors gathering to have the capacity to kick it into high gear everyone the ball and to simply assume responsibility of that, it's an extraordinary occupation by him."
As anyone might expect, Smith redirected a great part of the acclaim guided at him to his running backs.
Spencer Ware conveyed 24 times for 131 yards and a touchdown, while Jamaal Charles kept running for another 33 yards and a score as he kept on getting more work in his second amusement once more from ACL surgery.
As a group, the Chiefs arrived at the midpoint of 4.6 yards for every convey and scored three touchdowns on the ground.

The Chiefs didn't have a turnover regardless of messy conditions. They were punished only twice for 10 yards. What's more, they overwhelmed time of ownership, holding the ball for 36 minutes, 45 seconds.
Those added to a solid execution by the safeguard, as well.
The Raiders just oversaw 286 yards of aggregate offense, changed over only four third downs and neglected to change over both of their fourth-down endeavors. Carr was sacked twice, tossed a capture and after that lost a bobble in the final quarter, when the Raiders were attempting to rally.
"It's enormous, yet we can't get too high," Chief wellbeing Eric Berry said. "When we watch film, we will be onto New Orleans. Revise botches that show up, and whatever we have to settle, we're going to do that, yet at this moment we're simply concentrating on stacking wins this way.
"It was only one stage on the step," Berry included, "so we continue moving."
