So the Chiefs even without Hunt have been a top-tier team inside the RZ. And I fully expect that by week 5-7 the Chiefs will be somewhere in the top 5 in that category.

I probably should've said short yardage. Regarding red zone efficiency, I'm going to quote some different stats, but this is what I was referencing:

In 2018, the Chiefs led the league in points per red zone trip (5.69) and ranked second in touchdowns per red zone trip (0.718), per Football Outsiders. In 2019, that dropped to 4.84 points per red zone trip, which ranked 16th, and 0.54 touchdowns per red zone trip, which ranked 20th.
