Effective communication and adjusting to the game situation were key factors for the team in handling the challenges they faced during the game. The loud environment made it difficult to execute complex plays and communicate at the line of scrimmage, leading to issues in the first half. However, the team adapted by focusing on clear communication in the huddle and simplifying their plays in the second half. Additionally, the team faced frequent double and triple coverage, which is not a new occurrence but seems more pronounced this year.

Jaylen, specifically, was sacked five times, and many of these were due to a lack of communication and coordination. However, there was a silver lining in the form of rookie Jalen Carter's creative attempt to get a pick on a spike. Despite the challenges presented by the opposing team's strong run game and the top-ranked run defense in the NFL, the offense managed to gain 121 rushing yards in the first half. The defense, in turn, struggled to keep the offense on the field, resulting in few possessions. Britton Colquitt's effective punt returns, including a 27-yarder in the third quarter, were crucial in setting up scoring opportunities for the offense. Overall, the team recognized the need to improve communication and execution in the second half and responded by focusing on the run game and capitalizing on Colquitt's returns.

However, Kelce acknowledges that there is a balance to be struck between sticking to the game plan and using his natural instincts.
