Chiefs Film Room: The offense showed its true colors

You know when a TV show returns from a break between season and gives you a refresher on what happened last season? Well it feels like that was more or less what the Chiefs did last week (quite considerate of them, right?). After a season premier like that, one has to wonder how the heck they’ll top it.

In a game where you enter halftime with Spencer Ware as your only sign of life on either side of the ball and manage to storm all the way back, the takeaways are plentiful. Let’s quickly run down just a few of them:

• The secondary is due for a fair share of growing pains without Sean Smith.
• Josh Mauga is slightly more important to the run defense than we gave him credit for.
• Ware’s 2-year / $3.6 million extension is the early clubhouse leader for bargain of the offseason.

The list goes on-and-on, but given that it’s only week one, things should be taken with the ol’ pinch-o-salt.

However, there is one takeaway from this game which doesn’t require the said salt – the old adage that the Chiefs aren’t a team built to come from behind can finally be put to rest. I mean, that’s been the narrative surrounding this time since Andy and Alex came to town – “they’re good as long as they don’t go down by more than a touchdown.” I guess it’s back to the narrative drawing board for analysts.
