A little bit of an odd start in Brazil, as the Kansas City Chiefs' offense was bottled up the first half, and Travis Kelce hurt his own teammate.
While not on purpose, the biggest news of the first half was Kelce running into Xavier Worthy and sending him to the locker room with a shoulder injury.
Worthy will not return in the game, and Kansas City is looking for answers as they head to the locker room down 13-6 to the Los Angeles Chargers.

A pair of Harrison Butker field goals was all the Chiefs could muster before half. The second one was as the clock expired to end the first half from 59 yards.
