During quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ time as the team’s starter, the Kansas City Chiefs have been renowned for their explosive offense.
In 2023, however, the team’s offensive production declined. — largely because the wide receiver corps lacked downfield playmakers. Mahomes’ 7.0 yards per passing attempt was the lowest of his career — well below his 7.9 career average. This allowed defenses to focus on tight end Travis Kelce underneath, preventing the team from taking advantage of his skills.
So for the 2024 season, Kansas City made a high-profile signing, acquiring free agent wideout Hollywood Brown, hoping that its once-vaunted passing attack can return to its dynamic form.
