Spags dropped the defense a ton and banked on them to rally up on checkdowns. They sucked at that. Otherwise, Spags had them in position all game.
I suspect they'd be better if they were able to.
Keep in mind: Chiefs had this game in hand up until Kelce fumbled.

The KC offense was a hell of a lot better in the 2nd half of the most recent game than that AFC title game, no doubt about it. They scored 2 TD's in the 3rd quarter. They would have scored at least 6 points in the 4th quarter without Kelce's fumble and Butker's missed FG. Two massive screwups late in the game.
