I was highly skeptical of the Chiefs heading into this season.
Mahomes coming off a major knee surgery. Kelce getting old and is a celebrity now. Rice also coming off major injuries and spending time in jail. Revamped secondary.
I still don't think they are the Chiefs of old and it was only one game but the fact that they might have a dominant run game is very scary. Reid and Mahomes in my opinion are the best of the best at converting 3rd or 4th and short. If the run game is dominant they are going to be able to control games with the run and converting short. They will wear defenses down and be difficult to stop. This will put a lot of pressure on the opposing offense, which will allow Spags to be very aggressive.
I think they are a Super Bowl contender.
Hot take!
Do the Bills play the Chiefs this season?
If they can run the ball like that every week, I wouldn’t want to face them in January.
I wouldn’t count the Chiefs out yet. Mahomes and Reid are enough to make them dangerous, especially if that running game keeps working.
