Through two weeks of the young NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs offense has not delivered to expectations. After years of one of the league’s most consistent — and prolific — scoring units, the Chiefs have struggled at every turn to move the ball, contributing to a slow, 1-1 start to the year.
Speaking before practice on Wednesday, Patrick Mahomes admits that Kansas City’s playmakers will need to persevere against heavy zone coverages they have seen early on this season. He cited the interception he threw while looking for wide receiver Justin Watson in Sunday’s 17-9 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars as an example.
