Chargers - 27, Chiefs - 21
ANDY REID: As far as the injuries go, we had a couple of them. So Xavier Worthy hurt his shoulder early in the game. And then Tranquill, Bolton and (inaudible), but they all finished and they should be okay as we go forward.
I'd like to thank the people in Brazil here and São Paulo for the hospitality. We didn't give all those fans who showed up the best show.
We can learn from this as we move forward, which I've got to make sure I get my team in a better state there coming out, playing with more emotion. We were a little flat that first half, and that cost us.
There were some good things in there, but, again, we've got to make sure we take care of business. And that's my responsibility.
Q. Any indication for Xavier Worthy?
ANDY REID: We'll know tomorrow once we get back and do an MRI.
Q. What did you think of the passing game (inaudible)?
ANDY REID: I thought it was like a two-halves passing game. I think the first half we were off a bit. And then the second half it picked up a little bit. We had a few more explosives there and got into better rhythm than what we had there. We've got to, again, I've got to make sure we start faster.
Q. You said there just wasn't emotion. Was it something that you noticed early on or do you think the Xavier Worthy injury had more to do with that?
ANDY REID: I expect more than that. I need to make sure we come out with better emotion. It's a nice big stage for us against a good football team. They made a couple of plays early, got things going. And we weren't able to do that. And I thought they did a better job in that area.
Q. What (inaudible) them playing flat (inaudible)?
ANDY REID: Listen, I'm on the sidelines. I expect there to be emotional support there. I also expect the players to fly around and do things that I've seen us do.
Again, it's my responsibility to get them in that frame of mind to do that, whether you have an injury, a turnover, whatever it is. You fight through that and you make yourself better, whatever situation you're in.
Q. (Question off microphone).
ANDY REID: We normally like to mix and match, but we did take a few more shots today, completed a few and we were off on a couple. But you keep firing in those situations and work through it.
Q. After the first game of the season, what do you think will be the first thing that you'll have to (inaudible) for the next game besides start faster?
ANDY REID: Sure, we've got to clean up some of the penalties that we had, especially in crucial situations as you get ready to go in and potentially score. And so we've got to take care of that. I expect more from our guys than that. And then there's some little mistakes here and there that we'll take care of too.
Q. (Inaudible) can you evaluate the offensive line, what you thought?
ANDY REID: I thought we did a decent job up until that last drive there. I thought there was pressure on Patrick, when we had to throw the football, just absolutely you've got to bear down. That's, again, be in a certain frame of mind to do that. It's a good learning experience.
Up to that point, though, I thought they really handled it well.
Q. What did you think of (inaudible)?
ANDY REID: You know what, I think he did okay. I've got to check the tape out for individual guys.
Q. Early in the day, Mahomes (inaudible) how do you evaluate that (inaudible)?
ANDY REID: Pat's always going to get his runs in. That's just how that goes. And we don't plan for those. We've got to do even better in that area. We can do a better job there.
We'll keep working on the run game and make sure we can get our yards per carry up a little bit higher with the running backs.
Q. (Inaudible) international game (inaudible) Mexico City, London, now Brazil. I'd like to ask you what stood out about Brazil, about São Paulo, the stadium (inaudible)?
ANDY REID: Sure, now, listen, the people were phenomenal. The people that we ran into, fans, whether it was at the airport, whether it was today, on our travel here and throughout the game.
And then the people at the hotel I thought did a great job. My hat goes off to the Marriott and the folks there for really having a great plan for us.
Q. What about the crowd?
ANDY REID: That's what I was saying earlier, the crowd was great. The crowd was great, passionate. I got goosebumps there with the National Anthem, the Brazilian National Anthem. That was spectacular everybody participating like that.
Q. What about their scheme and their --
ANDY REID: I thought Jim had a great plan there, he and his staff. And they executed, and their underneath game was good, possession throws were good. They didn't really hit too many deep ones. But the ones that, that intermediate range, I thought they did a nice job with.
Q. Seemed like on the (inaudible) inside, what was your evaluation of the front four right now, protecting the quarterback?
ANDY REID: I always expect more from the bigs on both sides of the ball. So we can do better in those two areas, for sure. That's where it all starts, right? So we can do a better job. We will do a better job.
