The Kansas City Chiefs may not be alerting any fans to a new trend that has managed to pop up under everyone's noses in the last few weeks, but their inability to run the football with any degree of consistency or quality has been identified as one of the main reasons this team may struggle to repeat in the AFC.
The Chiefs are trying their hardest to win with Kareem Hunt and Isiah Pacheco, despite the many challenges those two bring to the table. Even their success against the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football can primarily be attributed to Patrick Mahomes being in one of his classic locked-in modes.
