Grade The KC Chiefs Performance Against The St. Louis Rams

Last week, 96% of you gave the Kansas City Chiefs either an A grade or a B grade for their performance against the Arizona Cardinals. A fast start to the game and an eventual 27-17 win had a lot to do with that.

I don't expect the same high percentage of As and Bs today. The Rams essentially looked like the Chiefs of last week - started strong, played good defense and forced turnovers. That's why they won 31-17.

Considering I gave the Chiefs a B+ last week for their pretty impressive opening, I don't see how I can give anything higher than a C to this week's performance. Forget about the final score. I'm not really concerned with that. Four turnovers and a much more lax defense is why KC is not getting a B grade this week.

Another reason the Chiefs are getting a C grade this week: the fact that KC's starters played the entire first half, much of it against the Rams' second string defense and offense.
