Moore continued his good-looking drive with a 17 yard pass to Watkins — who made a one-handed snag — on the next play and a 10 yard pass to Kelce right after. A few more completions had the Chiefs inside the 15 yard line. A stuffed run on third down led to an attempt at a fourth down conversion — and it was successful with a Damien Williams two-yard run to get to the five yard line.
