The Chiefs have found their formula, not just for this team, but for this era

By Brandon Kiley

The Chiefs aren’t sexy anymore. Only six teams in the NFL have fewer plays of 20-plus yards this season. Patrick Mahomes has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns. The leading receiver – Travis Kelce – currently ranks 54th in the NFL in receiving yards, behind the likes of Hunter Henry, Tutu Atwell and Cade Otton.

This is not the Chiefs casual NFL fans came to know and love in the early portion of Mahomes’ career. This certainly isn’t the offense in which he threw for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns.

That lack of “fun” is showing up once again as national pundits discuss the 2024 Chiefs.

“This is one of the fakest undefeated teams,” CBS Sports analyst Mike Renner said on CBS Sports HQ earlier this week. “They’re not blowing anyone out; five one-score wins this season. They are a good team; they are not a great team.”

There’s some truth to what Renner said. The Chiefs are playing close games. They are also undefeated. The rest I generally disagree with.
