Whether or not this team can venture outside of it, may determine just how far this team can go this year. We all know by now what the comfort zone is for Reid and company. Quick reads, intermediate routes, and screen passes; the clear mainstays of his offense. All of that is great when you have the weapons to, not only make plays after the catch, but more importantly to keep the defense guessing.
That last part, the chess match element to an offense, is maybe the most important factor. Unfortunately, it also seems to be what the Chiefs offense lacks the most at this point in the season.
