The Kansas City Chiefs had to be largely pleased with the performance of their offensive line in the season opener. Most of all, the first career start for left tackle Josh Simmons was a positive. There was one low spot for Kansas City's blocking unit, however: Jawaan Taylor struggled with multiple penalties and blocking consistency.
Stop us if you’ve heard that before. Taylor did not necessarily turn in the worst outing of his career, though the Chiefs were sapped of any momentum due to some of the mistakes he made. It feels like the team could inch closer and closer to replacing him in the lineup throughout this season.
