Writer Ben Strauss argues that Patrick Mahomes, the offensive line's blocking for Kenneth Walker III, and costly mistakes were most to blame for Kansas City's 20-3 loss to Seattle. The defeat marked the Chiefs' first loss of the season following a 5-0 start. Kansas City struggled heavily on offense, managing only a single field goal across all four quarters.

Mahomes went 19-of-33 for 165 yards with an interception and failed to reach the red zone for the first time in 152 career starts. Strauss also points to Harrison Butker missing two field goals and Kansas City converting just 3-of-11 third downs, while head coach Andy Reid took full responsibility for the team's struggles across all phases.
