The Kansas City Chiefs barely squeaked out a win against the Denver Broncos on an elite defense, but, at one point they were up 27 points. That was without two of their most key players on the offense.
Patrick Mahomes knows it's about to get scary for their opponents.
On Wednesday, Andy Reid said that everyone was practicing, which includes Mecole Hardman and Kadarius Toney. Oh yeah, it's about to get scary.
“I think getting Mecole (Hardman) and KT (Kadarius Toney) back will just add another dimension," Mahomes said. "I mean obviously they can do the jet sweeps and stuff like that but just adding that speed to the field it makes teams have to honor it.
"Obviously, Marquez (Valdes-Scantling) has done a great job of filling that role and so has Skyy (Moore) but just to continue to add speed – to any offense – that those two guys have. I think it’ll open up everybody else because you have to really account for those two guys on every play.”
Let's just use the San Francisco game as an example. The Chiefs annihilated that number one defense everyone is talking about. They used Hardman a ton and didn't really get to use Toney.
That is what this offense looks like when everyone is playing like they are supposed to be. We could see that this week against the Texans. We could see that in the playoffs, too.
And another little layer to peel back from the onion, the Chiefs still haven't showcased how they plan to use Toney either, just a few plays here and there.
I want to say I feel sorry for whoever has to play the Chiefs first in the playoffs, but I don't.
