As the 2023 postseason drew near, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense began to lean more exclusively on running back Isiah Pacheco, wide receiver Rashee Rice and tight end Travis Kelce. That became a winning formula.
But in the AFC Championship against the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday afternoon, it was taken to a further extreme.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce took over from the start, leading the Chiefs to two touchdowns on two drives. After establishing that lead, the duo picked their spots for the rest of the game, finishing the Super Bowl-clinching win with no incompletions over 11 passes.
