Overview
- The 28-21 defeat in Week 9 left Kansas City 5-4 entering a Week 10 bye and currently outside the postseason picture.
- On their podcast, Jason Kelce criticized the absence of a Tush Push package and urged the Chiefs to run it with someone other than Patrick Mahomes, citing the quarterback’s knee history.
- Kansas City has avoided quarterback sneaks since Mahomes dislocated his kneecap in 2019, a trend Jason argued is hurting short‑yardage efficiency.
- Travis Kelce pushed a different solution, favoring handoffs to a short‑yardage back such as Kareem Hunt or using play‑action near the goal line.
- Scrutiny intensified because Buffalo scored twice on Josh Allen sneaks while Mahomes had no passing or rushing touchdowns, with Travis also insisting the roster can regroup despite recent injuries and inconsistency.
