Podcast: Diagnosing the KC Chiefs offensive woes

Imagine watching The Fonz struggling to force a jukebox to play his favorite song. Or better yet, imagine Jeff Bezos struggling to pay in line at a grocery store, fumbling in a coin purse, or searching his wallet. Those examples are silly but they call to mind the odd tension of watching something so well-known for something actually having trouble doing that very thing.

On Sunday afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs were able to put away the Green Bay Packers by a final score of 13-7. Instead of the offensive fireworks expected in a long-awaited matchup between Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes, fans tuned in for a defensive slugfest and meant special teams ruled the day—and the Chiefs were excellent on that note.

As for the quarterbacks, Rodgers wasn’t even able to play thanks to a positive COVID test after watching a few YouTube videos that told him he might get the mark of the beast. That meant Jordan Love was welcomed to the NFL by Steve Spagnuolo’s blitzing schemes. However, Mahomes wasn’t much more productive than the rookie, which was of great concern to many in Chiefs Kingdom despite the win.

On the latest episode of the Arrowhead Addict podcast, Sterling Holmes and Matt Conner sit down to discuss the Chiefs’ offensive woes from Week 9 (and in weeks prior). What has been going on with Mahomes recently? And where is Josh Gordon? Why is this team having problems scoring points? We discuss all this and more on the latest AA episode.
