All six Kansas City Chiefs OL grades from divisional round victory

5. RT Jawaan Taylor

Grade: 86.4/100

There is admittedly a bias here. Taylor's status as the Chiefs biggest acquisition last offseason has hung over his performance in 2023, and that continues in the postseason. He allowed the most pressures against the Bills, with three total pressures and the only hit on Mahomes. The offensive line performed admirably, but Taylor struggled at times.

Kansas City constantly schemed for Taylor's help on Sunday. On more than one occasion, Trey Smith was blocking one defender with his eyes locked on Taylor's matchup. I understand that is part of his assignment, but defenders beating Taylor on the inside happened more than once Sunday.

Unlike his counterparts, Taylor's shutdown moments were nonexistent on Sunday. Every rep, whether running or passing, was on the cusp of failing. But, looking at it in a binary sense, Taylor won more reps than he lost. Plus, his athleticism shone by getting to the second level on running plays.
