What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSeattle beat Kansas City twenty to three, and the Chiefs never got into the red zone, for the first time in Patrick Mahomes' hundred and fifty-three starts.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNever once? Twenty to three, and the closest they got was the parking lot, Hank.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwo hundred thirteen yards, nineteen of thirty-three for a hundred sixty-five from Mahomes, one interception.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorRashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton were both out, and I'd like that entered into the record before anyone panics.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd the Chiefs are still five and one, tied with Buffalo for the best record in the conference. That's a great loss to have!

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThen he told the young guys the veterans will show them how to respond.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHank, come to the rematch with me. Tailgate, wings, the whole thing.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'm not going. What time?

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThree points, zero red zone drives, and the message to the kids was the only drive that finished.
