Chiefs can’t have it both ways with Kingsley Suamataia and Justin Tucker

Writer Scott Loring argues that the Kansas City Chiefs exhibited hypocrisy by benching Kingsley Suamataia while recently signing kicker Justin Tucker. Suamataia was left out of the starting lineup and kept on the sideline during a goal-line sequence in a road defeat against the Denver Broncos. Loring questions head coach Andy Reid's decision to keep Suamataia active without utilizing him during critical game moments.

According to the column, the Chiefs demonstrated inconsistent priorities by signing Tucker despite his off-field misconduct allegations while simultaneously disciplining Suamataia at the expense of winning. Loring contends that Kansas City must decide whether winning takes priority over internal disciplinary stands, specifically criticizing the coaching staff's failure to deploy their best offensive line options during the game-ending goal-line failure in Denver.
