Jawaan Taylor

It's safe to say that Jawaan Taylor has been a major disappointment for the Chiefs this season. The Chiefs signed him to a hefty contract of four years worth $80 million and he has not lived up to the hype.

The biggest issue for Taylor by far during his first year in Kansas City has been that he's been a penalty machine, racking up 23 thus far, according to PFF. Taylor had two penalties in the Wild Card round but fortunately for Chiefs fans, he didn't have any in the win over Buffalo this past weekend. There was a flag thrown on Taylor but it was declined.

There was certainly some worry with this being the first road playoff game for the Chiefs under Patrick Mahomes that the crowd noise in Buffalo might have messed with Taylor but he didn't cost the team any yards. Can he continue to play a clean game in Baltimore this weekend? We know that it's going to be insane at M&T Bank Stadium and the Chiefs can't make any stupid mistakes so Taylor has to play another clean game.
