Somewhere around the time when November changed to December, the Chiefs offense went from dominant to not so much. There are a number of reasons you could point to, including the sudden release of Kareem Hunt, injuries along the offensive line and perhaps having to play playoff teams three weeks in a row following the Week 13 matchup with the Oakland Raiders.
Many Kansas City writers, including Arrowhead Pride’s own Kent Swanson and Matt Lane, maintain that the absence of Sammy Watkins has been a major reason for the struggles.
