'SNF' takeaways: Packers' Jordan Love wins QB duel over Chiefs with controversial ending

Packers' defense did just enough: The Chiefs' offense isn't what it used to be. However, the last time we checked, Mahomes was still leading the charge, so holding him and the Chiefs to only 19 points was a victory in and of itself. Green Bay's defensive unit was the definition of bend, don't break on Sunday night, and it worked nearly to perfection. 

After holding the Chiefs to two field goals in the first half, the unit forced a crucial three-and-out while recording an interception in the second half to stave off any Mahomes magic. 

Kansas City rushed for 138 yards against the league's 27th-ranked defense against the run, but Mahomes was held largely under wraps, finishing 21-of-33 for 210 yards (6.4 YPC) with a touchdown and an interception. 

The Packers' defense has been up and down all year, but credit where it's due. Much-maligned defensive coordinator Joe Barry has taken heat throughout the season, but he drew up a great game plan on Sunday night.       

Controversial end stains measuring stick win for Packers: There's no debating that the Packers played well enough to win on Sunday night. However, two controversial late no-calls worked against the Chiefs, and if they'd gone the other way, the outcome may have been different. 

With under a minute to go and the Chiefs trailing by eight, Packers cornerback Corey Ballentine clearly interfered with wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling on a deep pass, which would've netted the Chiefs a first down inside the Green Bay five-yard line. 

Then, tight end Travis Kelce was pushed from behind while attempting to corral quarterback Patrick Mahomes' last-second fourth-down prayer in the endzone six plays later, ending the game. 

Kansas City benefited from a bogus unnecessary roughness penalty earlier in the drive. Still, if one of the two questionable plays is called a penalty, they may have left Lambeau winners.
