Question: The Chiefs’ offense went from being a juggernaut to just kind of average in the span of a year. What’s been the biggest difference between this season and the past? And what’s going on in the second halves of games over the last month? Answer: I know you guys are happy about the decline of the Chiefs offense but we’re certainly not. The talent in the receiver room is the obvious place to start. Year after year, the group slowly got worse. Last year they lost Tyreek Hill and this year they lost JuJu Smith-Schuster. The room simply has been depleted. Now the Chiefs are in a position in which Justin Watson is the default number 1 receiver and is getting 11 targets in a single game. We know Patrick Mahomes is great, but the Chiefs are expecting a lot from him to be able to make this particular group work — especially when they can’t even catch a ball in crucial situations. I don’t want to pin all of the blame on the receivers though as there have been other issues too:
