It makes no sense to me -- the Chiefs player ran the ball all the way back, surely that's a touchdown -- but I understand that the rules can be pretty arcane, and I appreciate you all trying to educate me.

On edit: the explanation that the most a team can score after the touchdown is 2 points, now makes the Chiefs 2 points make sense. Thank you.
