Kansas City leads the Packers 7-0 after first…

Kansas City won the opening coin toss and deferred. Jordan Love’s first career start began with a three-and-out, after a pair of incompletions intended for Dominique Dafney (first down) and Aaron Jones (third).

Kevin King and Rasul Douglas started at cornerback for Green Bay after Eric Stokes injured his knee in pregame warmups.

The Chiefs nearly went three-and-out, as well, but opted to go for it on fourth-and-1 from their own 45. Running back Darrel Williams converted it with a 7-yard run up the middle.

The Packers’ defense got Kansas City into two more third-down situations but the Chiefs converted them with a defensive holding penalty on Douglas and a 6-yard run by Williams on third-and-4 to the Green Bay 1.

Krys Barnes and De’Vondre Campbell stuffed Williams on his two runs before Patrick Mahomes hit Travis Kelce on a play-action pass to put Kansas City up 7-0 with 5 minutes, 56 seconds left in the first quarter.

AJ Dillon keyed the Packers’ second series, plowing up the middle for 24 yards on back-to-back carries to move the ball to midfield. He then caught a 15-yard screen pass from Love to give Green Bay a first down at the Kansas City 24.

Mason Crosby’s 40-yard attempt sailed wide left, giving the ball back to the Chiefs at their 30 with 48 seconds left in the half.  

The first quarter ended with Oren Burks tackling Jerick McKinnon one yard shy of the first down on third-and-3.
