Kansas City (3-9) grabbed a 14-0 lead less than five minutes into the game but found itself trailing on three different occasions in the second half. With Philadelphia clinging to a 47-46 advantage down the stretch, Bryant connected with Myers for an 8-yard TD pass and teamed with Jamarr Ward for the two-point conversion, giving the Brigade a 54-47 bulge.
The Soul (10-3) threatened in the waning moments, however, getting the ball to the Brigade 1 with 6.2 seconds remaining. But fullback Clifton Smith fumbled a direct snap on the final play, giving Kansas City its second win in three games.
Bryant went 19-of-32 for 198 yards and Charles Frederick caught six passes for 94 yards and two scores for the Brigade.
Matt D'Orazio was 24-of-34 for 268 yards with six TD passes, including three to Chris Jackson, who made 11 receptions for 130 yards.
