Chiefs Film Review: Why Kenneth Walker Struggled Against Seahawks and Patrick Mahomes’ Offense Is in Trouble

Writer Daniel Rios analyzes the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive struggles following a loss to the Seattle Seahawks, where Kenneth Walker III was limited to 36 rushing yards. The performance marked the first time in quarterback Patrick Mahomes' career that the Chiefs failed to enter the red zone during a game. Rios attributes the difficulties to Seattle's elite front seven and an apparent lack of downfield passing chemistry.

Rios argues that Mahomes appeared hesitant to target open receivers downfield and may lack trust in his receiving corps. The analysis suggests the Chiefs should consider targeting wide receivers such as Jerry Jeudy, Jauan Jennings, Stefon Diggs, or Brian Thomas Jr. before the trade deadline. Despite the offensive issues, Rios maintains that Kansas City remains a Super Bowl contender behind a strong defense.
