The defense was phenomenal....they held Elliot to 34 yards on 15 carries and they caused 3 turnovers...all 11 guys on defense deserved a game ball...

This is the kind of stuff that earned him the nickname Alexcuses in KC.
He missed several throws that were open, the most crucial of which was Sprinkle in the end zone. Sprinkle was just as open as any of the injured guys would have been.
He’s had a down couple of weeks. That said, I still think he’s capable and will make some plays going forward. But we won yesterday despite Alex Smith, not with him, and certainly not because of him.
