Anyone who has watched one iota of Kansas City Chiefs football in the last few years can see that their inability to run the football has both led to the regression of Patrick Mahomes and put a very hard cap on their overall ceiling. At 5-5, the playoffs are by no means a given.
The Houston Texans, who themselves are fighting for their playoff life at 5-5, believe that they need to get rid of running back Dameon Pierce in order to build a more complete team. Could this lead to Kansas City falling backwards into a new starting running back via waivers?
