Notes:

-Wide receiver Chris Conley played 73 offensive snaps (94 percent), matching tight end Travis Kelce for the most among all pass-catchers.

Conley caught four passes for 13 yards in the game, hauling in a 5-yard catch on third down late in the game to move the chains. The Chiefs went on to score a touchdown on that drive to narrow the deficit to just three points before taking the lead on their next offensive possession.

-Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson also saw his playing time increase on Monday, staying on the field for a season-high 58 percent of Kansas City's offensive snaps (45). Robinson hauled in two catches for 31 yards on the night, including a 23-yard catch on the Chiefs' game-winning drive.
