- Chiefs ball. Chiefs quickly face third-and-2, but Mahomes finds Tyreek Hill 26 yards to his right for a first down. Mahomes had Kelce on the next play, but he overthrows him.

- Rams have third-and-goal. Eric Murray had tight coverage on Gerald Everett. Defensive pass interference called, but Andy Reid is very angry. The ESPN telecast showed him talking to Goff.

First quarter
- Rams ball. Goff to Reynolds seems to be the connection to watch early in this game. Goff hit Reynolds on second-and-8 for a 15-yard gain and first down. On the next play, both Orlando Scandrick and Steve Nelson took penalties. The Rams opted for Nelson’s penalty, a 37-yard pass interference call. The quarter ended with the Rams on the 5-yard line, with Goff just missing Reynolds for a touchdown because he couldn’t get his second foot in.
- Chiefs ball. In a flash, the Chiefs are back in it. Running back Kareem Hunt dashed up the middle for 27 yards. Then two back-to-back plays to Tyreek Hill. Mahomes hit Hill first for 20 yards, then a 25-yard touchdown. Rams 13, Chiefs 7
- Rams ball. Refs call their fifth penalty on the Chiefs. Steven Nelson, Illegal Use of Hands. Chiefs playing a bit of zone on defense but it is not working. Jared Goff hit Josh Reynolds, Tyler Higbee and Woods for 10-plus yards on three straight plays. Chiefs take their sixth penalty with a Neutral Zone Infraction on Dee Ford. Goff hits Cooks on third-and-6 for a first down. Derrick Nnadi takes an Encroachment penalty. Goff to Josh Reynolds for a 4-yard touchdown. The Rams are going after Orlando Scandrick specifically. Rams 13, Chiefs 0
- Chiefs ball. Demetrius Harris takes an early Illegal Block Above the Waist penalty to make it first-and-18. Patrick Mahomes finds Chris Conley to get 11 yards back, and the crowd is so loud Chiefs need to take a timeout. Cam Erving false start, third-and-8. Mahomes chucked it deep down the right side to Travis Kelce but in and out of his hands with Marcus Peters in coverage. Cornerback Charvarius Ward made a nice play on the ensuing punt.
- Chiefs win the toss, so the Rams start with the ball. The Rams moved the ball very quickly down the field in six plays, including a big play to Brandin Cooks for 30 yards. Jared Goff found Robert Woods for a 7-yard touchdown after a questionable call on Eric Murray for unnecessary roughness, hitting a defenseless receiver. Missed extra point. Rams 6, Chiefs 0
