Andy Reid delivers blunt assessment of what Chiefs must change to beat Eagles after disappointing loss to Chargers in Brazil

SÃO PAULO — The Kansas City Chiefs went to halftime in Brazil with only six points on the board. The passing offense did become more effective and consistent to drive the ball down the field in the second half, but the effort wasn't enough to beat the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil. The 27-21 loss creates a level of pressure over the team, especially because the next opponent is the defending Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles.

After the game, head coach Andy Reid was clear. The offense has to start faster for the team to have a real shot at being consistently good. Losing Xavier Worthy early on was a big hit, but they found a way around it in the second half.

"I thought it was kind of a tale of two halves in the passing game," Andy Reid said. "In the first half, we were a little off, but in the second half it picked up. We hit a few more explosive plays and found a better rhythm. Again, I’ve got to make sure we start faster."
