It's pretty clear that the Chiefs have one of the best offenses in the NFL. With the Rams and Saints both struggling over the past few weeks, the Chiefs' offense has surpassed them in points scored with 471 through 13 games.

But they're not just good, they're historically good.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Most consecutive games with 26+ points in NFL history (regular season only)<br>2012-13 Broncos - 18<br>2017-18 Chiefs - 18 (active)<br><br>Including playoffs<br>1. 2012-13 Broncos - 19<br>2. 1983 Redskins - 15<br>3. 2018 Chiefs - 13 (active)<br><br>Mahomes is 14-for-14 in his starts. More historic stuff.</p>&mdash; Scott Kacsmar (@FO_ScottKacsmar) <a href="https://twitter.com/FO_ScottKacsmar/status/1072646751725723649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 12, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

So if the Chiefs can score 26 or more points ​Thursday against the Los Angeles Chargers, they'll set the regular-season record for consecutive games scoring that many points. This isn't just comparing them to the other teams in the NFL this season, this is an all-time record. If they can close out the season and hit 26-plus in 21 straight games, they have a very legitimate claim as the best offense of all time.
​
​The Chiefs as a team are averaging 36.2 points per game this year with 437.5 yards per game. ​MVP candidate Patrick Mahomes has turned this team from a solid offense with some big-play ability into an absolute offensive juggernaut.
​
​We'll just have to wait and see if they set the record Thursday night.

Not as good as the 97 Broncos, 98 Vikings or 99 Rams, IMO

OL puts them above it, especially w/out Kareem

Mahomes is 14-for-14 in his starts?

And all of this with a leaky defense that lets the other team eat up the clock like Mrs. Packman going for the cherry.

On the points scored not wins.

26 points seems like an odd place to draw the line.

One can certainly make an arguable case for KC

Bump this thread in January and we'll all come to a decision

Maybe if we were healthy and fully staffed(Hunt).

The fact that an offense with a mediocre O-line is in the conversation for greatest of all time says it all about Mahomes. It's remarkable how consistently they score TDs, considering they don't consistently open holes for the run game and Mahomes is on the run every other play. But the fact is, they can't line up and dominate you physically like the classic great offenses. They rely on tricky play designs and Mahomes's wizardry.

When everyone was healthy and we still had Hunt - it very well could have been the best offense ever assembled.

Schwartz and Fisher have been playing at pro-bowl level. LDT and Erving have been good. Morse above average.

Let’s oroduce in the post season. So many chiefs are wrapped up in regular season bragging rights they totally overlook the MOST IMPORTANT part of the season. The playoffs.

Let’s win a home playoff game then let’s talk some.

This. Our OL is at best average. It's amazing what Mahomes has been able to accomplish.

Yea, a healthy LDT and Watkins would give us a big boost too.

Its good, its not great. It has potential but far from all time great. Hope they are good enough. The game tonight is in Bob Suttons hands

Will either make the Pro Bowl?

LDT hasn't played in weeks.

Morse seems JAGish.

Based on PFF rankings, we've been middle of the pack all year.

Schwartz might.

My whole point was when it was 100% healthy.

Stick to politics. If you don't think this is one of the best offenses ever than you don't know what you're talking about.

Ya, I have to say this sounds about right...They'll always be damn good, but could've been a dynasty.

but , that's still possible..we shall see.

damn good time to be a Chiefs fan.

Nah, the OL just isn’t good enough. Not to mention losing Hunt is a big blow.
