On Friday night, the Kansas City Chiefs fell 27-21 to division rival Los Angeles Chargers in their season opener. The good news: 17 weeks remain in the regular season. The bad news: the Chiefs have a very real talent problem. That truth was evident on both sides of the ball.
Kansas City spent most of the night without its top two receivers. Rashee Rice is serving a six-game suspension, and Xavier Worthy left the game with a shoulder injury after a collision with Travis Kelce. That explains away a significant chunk of the Chiefs' offensive struggles in the first half.
