Chiefs' offense 'ready to take off,' but is the defense grounded?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Recently, defensive lineman Chris Jones talked enthusiastically about what the Kansas City Chiefs would accomplish with the ball this season.

"We're going to light it up, baby," Jones said. "We're going to light it up on offense. We've got Sammy Watkins. We've got Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, We've got a monster [Kareem Hunt] in the backfield. We're ready to take off, man. ... It's going to be something serious."

Jones may prove to be right. The Chiefs have a strong group of offensive skill players to surround their new starting quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.
