Rookie fullback Carson Steele played well in relief of injured running back Isiah Pacheco and Wide receiver Rashee Rice continued to emerge as the focal point of the Chiefs offense, ending the night with a career-high 12 catches, 110 yards and a touchdown. The play of the game belongs to Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton, who came up big on fourth down to keep the Falcons from having another shot at the endzone at the end of the game.
