This sloppy and defensive-minded game eventually saw the Kansas City Chiefs prevail against the New York Giants. New York held the Chiefs for a majority of the game, slowing down their All-Pro talent. The Chiefs executed brilliantly late in the fourth quarter with a more efficient play on offense and defense to close out the dramatic victory.

Here’s a quick look at some of the best reactions from the game posted on Twitter:

The struggles defensively against the big pass play have plagued Sorensen all season. The Chiefs’ veteran safety gave up another significant gain in the first half to Giants receiver John Ross. It continued later into the game with a lapse in coverage in the red zone, resulting in a touchdown to Evan Engram. Fans didn’t hold back on their unhappiness with yet another poor defensive play by Sorensen.

Gore hadn’t had a single carry as a professional before Monday night’s game, and he took full advantage of his opportunity. The former Alabama star had 11 rushes for 48 yards and a TD on a dominating drive during the second quarter. He quickly made a name for himself for the many Chiefs fans via Twitter.

However, the All-Pro tight end’s fumble in the third quarter immediately caught the attention of fans on Twitter, who were confounded by the continued turnover troubles.
