6 harsh realities the Chiefs must face after an ugly loss to the Seahawks

Matt Conner of Arrowhead Addict outlines several key concerns for the Kansas City Chiefs following a 20-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. The defeat highlighted major roster deficiencies for Kansas City, whose offense sputtered while playing without both starting tackles and their top two wide receivers. Conner argues that quarterback Patrick Mahomes cannot overcome the offense's mounting injury issues alone.

Additional problems noted from the game include running back Kenneth Walker being limited to 36 rushing yards and defensive struggles by L'Jarius Sneed against Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With kicker Harrison Butker missing two field goals and Seattle dominating the line of scrimmage against Sam Darnold, the writer argues that general manager Brett Veach must acquire another offensive playmaker before the November 10 trade deadline.
