* Finally, despite the ugly offensive production I truly believe that all Chiefs fans should feel ecstatic about this win. Most KC fans had this game down as a loss when the schedule came out. I know the Panthers record isn’t great, but they’d been playing much better of late and have legit talent on both sides of the football.

To go into their home stadium when they desperately needed a win and find a way to beat them is outstanding. That defense will make a lot of offenses look bad and I truly believe we’ll see Smith rebound from his bad outing on Sunday. The Chiefs have heart and a fight in them that never goes away and that will serve them well as the season progresses. If the offense can find some continuity this team could get hot and then watch out!

So what do you think, Addicts? Were there other things that stood out to you in this game that I didn’t touch on? Is there anything that I mentioned that you disagree with? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

As always, thanks for reading and GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!
