What we could not confirm
- Thornton's injury: Both sources say he was hurt on the 55-yard catch. Neither gives a diagnosis.
- Travis Kelce's place on the all-time receptions list: NBC Sports reported before kickoff that he had 1,094 career catches, level with Tim Brown, and that his next catch would move him to No. 7. ESPN's box score lists two catches for 15 yards. None of the sources we opened states his updated total.
- Passing totals and attendance: Mahomes' 225 passing yards, Cousins' 365 and the attendance of 62,593 appear only in ESPN's data.
- Exact clock times: The sources differ by a second on two scoring plays, so we used only times on which they agree.
