"It's a challenge, it's a challenge — that's exactly what it is," Poe said. "They're saying, ‘We're going to put six O-linemen in and y'all can't do nothing about it. We're gonna run it down your throat.'

"Just playing outside, playing football in the front yard, back yard, just trying moves that you see on TV," Berry said when asked where he honed his running skills. "At the end of the day, it’s still that sport we grew up playing and just going out there and having fun and understanding what’s going on and letting your instincts take control.

The Chiefs were trailing 17-3 when the Panthers began a march that ultimately lasted 20 plays and chewed up more than 10 minutes. But in what is becoming very Chiefs-like fashion, Kansas City responded with back-to-back sacks to not only force fourth down, but also take Carolina out of field-goal range.

In fact, Smith has been leading an efficient, low-risk offense for four years in Kansas City. His 1.3% interception rate since 2013 is the best in the NFL and one of the key reasons he has a 92.2 passer rating in that span and a 90.3 mark this year. Generally that is seen as a tradeoff with explosive downfield plays, and indeed Smith is 29th in that same span with an average of 6.90 yards per pass attempt. However, while the Chiefs are tied for 25th in completions of 20+ yards this year, they are only five below the NFL team average of 30 such plays.
