Chiefs must allow playmakers to create in space
By Nick Jacobs
They’re still professional football players and will be playing motivated against a divisional foe. While the Raiders defense has been tormented through the air, they have came away with quite a few turnovers this year. The good news for the Chiefs is that if there is one thing Alex Smith is known for, it’s taking care of the football, hence his 147-85 career touchdown to interception ratio.
This will be a big test for the Chiefs’ offense as it will likely show us their true identity. They should be able to move the ball with ease against this struggling defense, if they’re not able to, we could be in for a long season. Andy Reid has an impressive win margin after the bye week coming away with fifteen wins and only two losses. Both Andy and Alex are know that they must do better at what they’re paid to do or this offense could sink.
After starting 1-5 last season and going on to win 10 straight and garnish the franchise with it’s first playoff win since the Montana days, I firmly believe that these guys have a strong mental makeup and are fully capable of adequately preparing for this Sunday’s matchup and lighting up that scoreboard in the black hole. I’m excited to see how the boys in red will respond to an embarrassing loss in Pittsburgh given an extra week to prepare for a struggling division rival’s defense.
Go Chiefs!
