Analysis

Coming into last season the sky was the limit for the Kansas City Chiefs. A year later Skyy Moore is the limit. But let’s not go overboard. QB Patrick Mahomes is still the most electric signal caller in the NFL, but WR Tyreek Hill is gone and TE Travis Kelce is getting long in the tooth. HC Andy Reid needs to do some tinkering with the game plan and new veteran adds to get back on track because the middling defense is not coming to the rescue.

Prediction: 3rd in division. With some tweaks, Chiefs will be back on top. But who says they make those tweaks? If it was obvious how to fix the lackluster offensive production of Kansas City, HC Andy Reid would have done it last year.
