With the NFL season just a couple weeks away, Andy Benoit is previewing every NFL team in reverse order of last season’s finish. Up today: the Kansas City Chiefs, who finished 10–6 in 2017.
1. The only NFL team Andy Reid worked for before the Chiefs and the Eagles was Green Bay, where his job was, in part, to keep gunslinger QB Brett Favre under control. Favre did things that make coaches age in dog years, but he made enough plays to justify it. After spending five years with Alex Smith (the anti-Favre), Reid is ready to live dangerously again, turning Kansas City’s once ultra-conservative passing game over to second-year man Patrick Mahomes.
