Box Score
The Kansas City Chiefs might want to start playing in London every week. The Chiefs defeated the Lions 45-10 in the early kickoff from Wembley Stadium.
Alex Smith showed some agility on the ground. Smith had five rushes for 78 yards and a touchdown. He also threw for 145 yards and two touchdowns. Chacandrick West had 20 rushes for 97 yards and one touchdown.
Matthew Stafford continued his struggles. Stafford was 22-of-36 for 217 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. The Lions offensive line continued to fail to provide Stafford with protection.
With two straight wins, the Chiefs are beginning to build momentum while the Lions season appears to be over.

Charcandrick West Gave the Chiefs a Large Lead in the Second Quarter

Travis Kelce Put the Game Away
