Game Summary
According to PFF's noise-canceled score metric, the game was lopsided in favor of the Chiefs, even though the score was close at one point in the second half. The Chiefs were much better at moving the ball, and only red-zone success stood between them and a blowout.
Passing Summary
The Chiefs' passing offense wasn’t completely dominant, but it looked much improved except for a rather fluky interception at the goal line.
Receiving Summary
Travis Kelce looked like his old self, gathering the highest target share of all Chiefs skill players. JuJu Smith-Schuster had an efficient game, as well, but he couldn’t hold onto an albeit inaccurate pass at the goal line that brought the Saints back into the game.
The Chiefs limited Chris Olave to just four targets and 10 yards, clearly one of the keys to shutting down the Saints' offense.
