Chiefs vs. Saints game recap: Everything we know

This week’s meeting of top teams in both conferences yielded an entertaining game that kept fans on seat’s edge for all four quarters. Kansas City got off to a fast start in the first half, leading by 14 early in the second quarter, but New Orleans surged back by halftime to make it a four-point contest. An opening drive touchdown to start the second half gave the Saints some momentum, but Kansas City was able to hold on and seal the win with a solid fourth-quarter performance.

The Chiefs’ stars on offense, and an unbelievable performance of rookie L’Jarius Sneed on defense, propelled them to their twelfth win this season. It keeps the team in the driver’s seat for the top seed in the AFC conference. With the Falcons and Chargers on the horizon in the coming weeks, Kansas City will look to keep this momentum headed into January’s elimination games.
