It was a first-half all about mistakes.
A fumble returned for a touchdown.
A reliable kicker hitting the uprights.

The Eagles did that while rolling up 270 yards of offense.
Neither team had trailed for a single minute in the playoffs before that.
Later in the half, kicker Harrison Butker hit the upright on a 43-yard field goal attempt.
But Hurts continued to punish the Chiefs.
Brown for a 45-yard touchdown pass, sitting in the pocket with great protection.
He followed that up with his lone mistake, fumbling the ball and then kicking it.
From there, it was all Eagles and Hurts.
On 4th and 5, a quarterback draw by Hurts went for 28 yards and a first down.
Hurts ran it in from there from four yards out for his second TD of the half.
He turned over his already-injured ankle, and hobbled off the field.
The big story of the second half will be whether he can return and be anywhere near effective.
The 29-minutehalftimewill not help in that.
