Cincy's D deserves credit for that. They closed gaps and made tackles (their D was near the top in the league in that category). The good news was we returned the favor: their rushing attack was absolutely shut down by our defense. :-)
What we absolutely need to get away from is running the exact same "up the center's ass on first down" play. I'm not sure if we are actually calling that, or if it is an option Mahomes is calling at the LoS? [Reply]

Yes, the Eagles lost to Dak and the Cowboys, but we did beat the Bears and Colts as well as manhandled the Texans and Titans so does that count in the equation? Both of these teams earned the right to represent our conferences. A blowout? come on man smh
The Texans played the Eagles close most of the game and it was tied at halftime.... not exactly "manhandling" them. [Reply]

Yeah, I thought we'd see more 3 TE sets; especially with all the WR injuries. [Reply]

IDK what's happening there, but even my daughter who was pretty much watching her first football game, said, "Why does he just keep running into that bunch of guys? Wouldn't he do better if he ran where there aren't any other players?" LOL "Why, yes, dear. That would be better." [Reply]

Better analysis than you’ll find on ESPN anymore tbh [Reply]

Eh, it only happened twice the other night, and that was after both speed/gadget guys went down, JJSS, on top of Mahomes and Kelce's injuries.
I do really hate when they run up the gut on 2nd and long to make it 3rd and long (think they also had a screen blown up), but at some point you've really narrowed down play calling, and the Bengals had started throwing in some wrinkles on defense, too. [Reply]

The interior OL is the Chiefs' strength. Running down the middle should be more effective, especially on short yardage. It's just not working on those plays though. [Reply]

Maybe if we were a tad less predictable on first down? [Reply]
