Injuries continue to be a problem

The Chiefs are without two starting offensive linemen Eric Fisher and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, so the line isn’t performing at the level it should be. Add in a possible season-ending knee injury for Martinas Rankin and they now are playing third-string offensive linemen. If Fisher and Duvernay-Tardif can get healthy the offense will be in better shape and it’ll be hard for opposing teams to stop Mahomes.

The Chiefs also lost their sack leader, Emmanuel Ogbah, to a torn pectoral muscle. He will likely need season-ending surgery, which is a huge blow to the Chiefs’ defense. Alex Okafor is battling an injury, and Frank Clark hasn’t been 100% healthy this season, citing a nerve injury in his neck.

If the Chiefs can get healthy, they will be a force to be reckoned with, but until then, let’s just hope they can survive the trip to Mexico City against the Chargers in Week 11. After that, the Chiefs will have their bye week to get healthy before the final run toward the playoffs.
