The Kansas City Chiefs were having an awful day well before Patrick Mahomes was being helped off after a vicious fourth-down hit.
It wasn't a shootout loss, or a late turnover that went against the Chiefs in a close game. They were horrendous in a 27-3 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Even the offense was rough, and against a poor Titans defense. A game like Sunday's against the Titans was not supposed to happen for the Chiefs, not with a Hall of Fame coach and an already legendary quarterback.
But here's the truth of the 2021 Chiefs: If we strip away the preseason expectations and the reputations based on past success, they're a 3-4 team that is deeply flawed and might not be going anywhere.
