NFL media analyst Bucky Brooks posted this question to his official Twitter page this morning:
If you could pick the NFL’s most explosive offensive based on the combination of play-caller, QB, Playmakers and O-Line, which teams would crack your Top 5?
Keep in mind, you’re looking for squads with elite guys in place in every category, particularly at OC #Top5— Bucky Brooks (@BuckyBrooks) May 9, 2018In the case of the Kansas City Chiefs, you’re looking at:
Play-caller: HC Andy Reid (scheme help from offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy)
Quarterback: Patrick Mahomes
Playmakers: TE Travis Kelce, WR Tyreek Hill, WR Sammy Watkins, RB Kareem Hunt
O-Line (L-R): LT Eric Fisher, LG Bryan Witzmann (camp battle), C Mitch Morse, RG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, RT Mitchell Schwartz
The case for the Chiefs
If you were talking about only quarterback or only offensive line, yes, it would be hard to consider the 2018 Chiefs as the “most explosive” offense in the NFL because there are too many unknowns there.
