Downfield passing game remains an emphasis for Kansas City Chiefs

ST. JOSEPH

Alex Smith is a very smart man, so yes, he knows the Chiefs’ deep passing game — or the lack thereof a year ago — will continue to be under the microscope for the foreseeable future.

After all, he only gets asked about it every time he steps in front of the media, which caused a reporter to ask if he’s tired of it yet.

“I get a little break,” Smith said with a laugh. “No worries, no worries.”

But with nine training camp practices in the books, Smith was asked if taking a few more chances downfield has actually been a focus thus far.
