Chiefs offense struggles early as Bucs take halftime lead
by Mike Alessandrini from on (#5DWV1)
The red-hot Kansas City Chiefs offense was ice cold to start Super Bowl LV.
The NFL's top-ranked unit mustered just six points and 125 total yards in the first half against a stingy Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. The Chiefs trail 21-6 as a result.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes wasn't his dominant self during the first two quarters, completing nine of 19 passes for 67 yards.
Kansas City converted one of six third downs, while Mahomes was the team's leader rusher with 34 yards on the ground.
The Chiefs were the league's third-highest scoring team in the first half during the regular season, averaging 15.7 points.
