Don’t worry about the offense

The offense had a rough game against the Chargers, but there isn’t any reason to worry. The Chiefs were without their best offensive player in Hill, who has a history of torching the Chargers, so he was definitely missed. It was clear that the offense was trying to go deep to Hill early, so when he left in the first quarter the game plan went out the door.

This was also the first week where all five of the starting offensive lineman played, so this may have been a game where they are trying to get used to playing with each other after having multiple different lineups the last nine weeks. It also didn’t help that they were facing two of the league’s top pass rushers, Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa, who are capable of slowing down any offense in the NFL.

I don’t believe the Chiefs will lose games because of their offense. They are just too good with a once-in-a-lifetime quarterback in Patrick Mahomes and a future Hall of Fame coach in Andy Reid. Those two together should be able to get the job done offensively against any team in the NFL, so I wouldn’t be too worried about the offense even though they had a rough game against the Chargers. I will be expecting the offense to be more comfortable with each other and be dominant after their bye week.
