The Kansas City Chiefs’ hopes of victory against the Green Bay Packers in Week 13 are still alive late in the fourth quarter after defensive lineman Mike Danna sacked quarterback Jordan Love to force a field goal attempt.

By holding Green Bay to just three points, Kansas City needed a touchdown to take a late lead and could have hypothetically completed an improbable comeback after losing several key players to injury.
On the ensuing drive, Patrick Mahomes threw an interception in Packers territory to give Green Bay the ball with just minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
This didn’t put the Chiefs completely out of contention, but certainly shifted momentum back in the Packers’ favor after Danna’s sack seemed to give Kansas City a wind at its back.
If the Chiefs intend to make something special happen to earn their ninth win of the season, it will need to come on their next offensive drive.
