Whenever the Kansas City Chiefs win, we praise the same cast of characters. We share the latest Patrick Mahomes highlight, rave about the new Travis Kelce record or campaign for Chris Jones to be defensive player of the year.
But when the team struggles — especially on offense — one of the first names spoken by Kansas City fans is left tackle Orlando Brown Jr.
Much of that criticism has diminished since the Chiefs’ Week 13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. That’s a game where Brown did struggle — but for most of the second half of the season, he has been playing some of his best football since coming to Kansas City.
