A lack of playmakers has really hindered things, putting way too much on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/patrick-mahomes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Patrick Mahomes<\/a>\u2019 plate. He was terrific early against the Eagles as a scrambler, and that might be the best part of his game right now. But the more Mahomes has to run, the more susceptible he is to injury. Kansas City\u2019s defense did improve vastly from Week 1 to Week 2, and the Giants aren\u2019t the most fearsome foe imaginable, but this is an interesting time for the Chiefs. Chances are, when we look back eight or 10 weeks from now, this will all look so quaint. They are, after all, the Chiefs, and they\u2019re not rolling over. But the Ravens, Jaguars and Lions are up after the G-Men, and everyone\u2019s coming for the kings, even if they were already dethroned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s legitimate concern over the state of the offense, even if Xavier Worthy is able to return this&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372942,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[90,390,254,117,53,260,391,256,54,257,258,113,7,345,253,392,125,110,393,262,58,251,259,249,55,56,255,609,109,57,5189,252,261,250,394,111],"class_list":{"0":"post-372941","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-analysis","9":"tag-arizona-cardinals","10":"tag-atlanta-falcons","11":"tag-baltimore-ravens","12":"tag-buffalo-bills","13":"tag-carolina-panthers","14":"tag-chicago-bears","15":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","16":"tag-cleveland-browns","17":"tag-dallas-cowboys","18":"tag-denver-broncos","19":"tag-detroit-lions","20":"tag-football","21":"tag-green-bay-packers","22":"tag-houston-texans","23":"tag-indianapolis-colts","24":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","25":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","26":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","27":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","28":"tag-los-angeles-rams","29":"tag-miami-dolphins","30":"tag-minnesota-vikings","31":"tag-new-england-patriots","32":"tag-new-orleans-saints","33":"tag-new-york-giants","34":"tag-new-york-jets","35":"tag-no-minute","36":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","37":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","38":"tag-power-rankings","39":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","40":"tag-seattle-seahawks","41":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","42":"tag-tennessee-titans","43":"tag-washington-commanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372941\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
