Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, OC Eric Bieniemy get into sideline spat ... (Chiefs Wire)

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and OC Eric Bieniemy got in a sideline disagreement before halftime.

If it was Bieniemy’s decision to head into the half instead of trying for another long scoring play, it might have been the more prudent move with the team getting the ball at halftime. Obviously, Mahomes wants to continue taking shots to the endzone. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs received the ball with 44 seconds remaining until halftime at their own 46-yard line.

The defense did come up with a huge fumble recovery in the fourth quarter, but [Geno Smith](/nfl/players/1700358/geno-smith/)threw that opportunity away with a late interception, which basically summed up Seattle's day: The opportunities to win were there, the Seahawks just didn't take advantage of them. [Seahawks](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/SEA/seattle-seahawks/)had some trouble with Atlanta's offense in a game where the Falcons only punted once. [New York Giants](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/NYG/new-york-giants/), and this Week 3 outcome won't exactly help them in that category. Defensively, Bill Belichick's crew had no answer for Lamar Jackson as the [Ravens](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/BAL/baltimore-ravens/)quarterback continues to gash teams with his arm and his legs. [Commanders](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/WAS/washington-commanders/)offense would put up a better performance than this. For the third straight, the [DeVante Parker](/nfl/players/1851283/devante-parker/)were able to connect on a couple of chunk plays, but the quarterback still looks a bit uncomfortable within the offense and threw multiple head-scratching interceptions.

Instant analysis of Chiefs' Week 3 loss to Colts (Chiefs Wire)

Lightning-fast analysis of the Kansas City Chiefs' Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Mahomes was under pressure for a good portion of the game. He coughed up the chance for the Chiefs to get the ball to the offense back within five minutes in order to get into Matt Ryan’s face. He made a ton of big plays on offense in this game, including scoring eight of the team’s points. Flatout, the Chiefs didn’t perform well enough to get a win against the Indianapolis Colts. It seemed to bleed over into the rest of the game slowly throughout a full four quarters. They started the game off on the wrong foot with some negative momentum in the special teams game.

“I didn’t say or pushing or shoving,” said Reid. I don’t think I said anything horrendous, but the official called it, and I can’t take it back. “I was frustrated that I got called. I didn’t think I said anything vulgar or disrespectful, but I just can’t say anything within the heat of the moment. The game is changing, so I got to evolve to the game. Jones appeared to say something to Ryan facemask-to-facemask after the play.

Chiefs snap counts: Skyy Moore sees slight snap increase on offense (Chiefs Wire)

The Kansas City Chiefs are 2-1 on the season after a 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on the road. The defense played 71 total snaps, while the offense ...

Darius Harris, in his first start of the 2022 NFL season, played 87% of the defensive snaps. The team just needs to find some targets for him and they’ll be in business. He didn’t get the carry, but I’d like to think this will only set him up for that opportunity in the future. Something to keep in mind in terms of the depth chart. The offense likely would have played more snaps than the defense if not for Chris Jones’ late unsportsmanlike penalty. The defense played 71 total snaps, while the offense played just 63.
