Alex Smith leads toothless Chiefs offensive showing in Divisional Round loss
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith completed 20-of-34 passes for 172 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the 18-16, Divisional Round loss on Sunday.
The Chiefs scored the only two touchdowns of this game, but it still wasn't enough to overcome the Steelers. Smith and the Chiefs got the scoring started with a five-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Albert Wilson out of the wishbone formation on a play-action boot to the left. Predictably, Kansas City's offense went into a shell after the score and couldn't do much of anything before laboring for a fourth-quarter touchdown. On the ensuing two-point conversion, Smith hit tight end Demetrius Harris to tie the game, but it was called back on a hold by left tackle Eric Fisher.
Smith's performance resulted in a mediocre -2.01 Net Expected Points on 34 passing attempts, per numberFire Live.
