If I am playing against the Chiefs, I rejoice every time they throw short or run the ball. If the Chiefs take 15 plays to score, chances are better they will not covert a 3rd down or commit a penalty or turnover. We have to find a way to stay aggressive. We have Kelce and Tyreek. He have to make those player count.

I agree. But teams aren't budging from the 2 deep look because we have nothing to counter it with. Our WRs other than Hill suck. So either he breaks out and defeats the coverage himself or nothing happens.
Do you want Mahomes to just chuck 50/50 balls deep or something? Or how exactly do you think we're going to beat defenses if we don't show that the short stuff will kill them too? Why would safeties ever come down if we can't beat them with short passes or runs?
