Take a look around the league.The Ravens lost to the freaking Browns, the Bengals got their shit pushed in by the Eagles at home, the Colts had so many opportunities to win yesterday and threw them all away, the Bears gave up a freaking Hail Mary.
The Chiefs are just a machine that’s taking care of business. They’re getting everyone’s best shot and simply don’t care.
Remember last year when the Chiefs just continued making mistakes and checked out of games like the Broncos, Lions and XMas Raiders? That doesn’t appear to be happening this year.
These guys are as consistent as I have ever seen them and that’s terrifying for everyone else.

I don’t think we’re ever going back go to that offense and I don’t think many expect that. But on just a couple of snaps using an aging Hopkins where we actually targeted him we saw clearly what we’ve been longing for. He alone adds such a dimension to the offense.
I think we see the potential for issues. We will have lukewarm defensive performances where we have to go heavy on pass script. Pass rushers that can get to mahomes all day. Teams that can effectively stop kelce without selling out. Mahomes tendency to play hero ball when drives stall or we can’t finish long. Games where our developing rookie worthy can’t be overused. For the rest of the year we probably won’t be a pass first offense but we are at our best when we put the ball in mahomes’ hands when it matters most. And I think all of us recognize his greatness while at the same time recognizing that we are a bit nervous about our ability to come from behind or ice games with our passing game
