3 observations from Chiefs’ loss to Lions in Week 1
Chiefs #Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense were able to move the ball during spurts of this game, but without Kelce on the field, the unit couldn’t seem to get in rhythm. Mahomes had to improvise on nearly every drive, and while this would usually play to his strengths in the passing game, he didn’t look quite as lethal without his top target.
Kansas City’s run game was nearly non-existent. Mahomes led the team in rushing with 45 yards, and Isiah Pacheco was only given eight carries which turned into 23 yards. Pacheco and the rest of the Chiefs’ running backs should see more action in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, especially if Kelce is still relegated to the sideline.
