An uninspiring win for the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9 left many fans searching for more intrigue after the team’s 13-6 victory over Green Bay. Both offenses played a boring brand of football throughout the game, struggling to gain traction while the defenses mostly kept the opposition at bay.
Perhaps the most exciting part of the game was when both teams headed to the locker room for halftime, and a women’s flag football game took place around midfield to kill some time. The 7-on-7 matchup kept fans on the edge of their seats in the brief intermission and even caught the attention of Brian Baldinger, who broke down the action on Twitter Sunday night.

Particularly enthused by the run-pass-option look on the first play, Baldinger gave credit to the teams for their effort and creativity in the exhibition, suggesting that the Packers might benefit from their playbook with Jordan Love at quarterback.
While he has broken down plenty of moments from the Chiefs’ season in the past few months, this is some of Baldinger’s finest work, and encapsulates everything that is good about the game of football. He called the touchdown near the end of the film he showed on Twitter, praising the clutch throw under pressure by the quarterback for six points.
The final score of the halftime tilt wasn’t revealed in his video, but based on the performance he showed it appeared that the team in white had the upper hand. Playing on just about 30 yards of the field’s length and strictly inside the numbers, the team’s gave a full effort in the matchup and deserved every bit of praise Baldinger had to dish out.
Both the Chiefs and Packers might benefit from taking notes and employing more elements of the 7-on-7 frenzy they witnessed at halftime this week.
