The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals De'Anthony Thomas Color Rush Jersey , 45-10, on Sunday Night Football at Arrowhead Stadium.Usually, in this article, I will list the winners and losers from the game—but not tonight. I could nitpick, but the Chiefs had this game won midway through the third quarter.Winners only.WinnersPhoto by Adam Glanzman/Getty ImagesChiefs head coach Andy Reid won his 200th NFL game on Sunday night—and that’s made up of 189 regular-season wins and 11 postseason wins. While Reid has had his postseason struggles, his regular-season success is undeniable, and he’s now within one win of eighth all time. He is five wins (205) from former Chiefs head coach Marty Schottenheimer and nine wins (209) from Chuck Noll. Once Reid overtakes Noll, be it this year or next, he will sit alone in sixth. “That’s an individual thing, I’m not really good with that,” Reid said. “We are about team. I know a lot of people involved with each one of those wins that have been crucial, so, I enjoy it and I appreciate it, but I would tell you it’s everyone. Everyone is involved. I’ve been blessed to be around some good people, players and coaches. Ownership has been phenomenal. I’ve been really blessed to be in a great position and be a part of it.”Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY SportsChiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to play at an MVP-caliber level, and he should once again be the frontrunner after this week’s performance. Mahomes finished 28 of 39 for 358 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. He continued to show development in being comfortable in the pocket, as well as his ability to make plays with his legs. Mahomes also had 45 rushing yards on four rushes in the win. The Chiefs never punted—a feat that has occurred only two other times in franchise history Travis Kelce Jersey , against the Carolina Panthers in December 2000 and away against the Los Angeles Rams in December of 1991.Mahomes connected with eight different receivers on Sunday night, including the big three—Travis Kelce had five catches for 95 yards, Sammy Watkins had four catches for 74 yards and Tyreek Hill had seven catches for 68 yards. Hill had the trio’s only touchdown on the evening during the same drive in which he dropped a wide-open touchdown pass. It was the 20th receiving touchdown of his three-year career.Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsAfter a slow start to the season, Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt recorded his fourth game in a row of 80 rushing yards or more. Hunt had 86 rushing yards on the night, as well as a 2-yard rushing touchdown. Through the air, Hunt had five catches for 55 yards and two touchdowns. The three touchdowns make 20 touchdowns in Hunt’s two-year career. Hunt has tapped back into the kind of elusiveness we grew to expect stemming from his rookie season. Hunt has 13 career games with 100 yards from scrimmage or more in 23 total tries.Also, Chiefs fans weren’t the only ones who noticed his ridiculous hurdle:Tight end Demetrius Harris has Mahomes’ other touchdown with his only catch of the game.The offensive line tandem of center Jordan Devey and right guard Andrew Wylie is especially noteworthy. Based upon our first look, Geno Atkins was kept in check on the duo’s first full night together. The game marked Wylie’s first career start.Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsChiefs fans will have trouble admitting, but defensive coordinator Bob Sutton deserves a lot of credit for the gameplan he put together against the Bengals.This comments came through from wide receiver AJ Green after the game:“They didn’t play a lot of press. I think they had drive where I had a couple of catches where they would be pressing me and bailing and then a lot of two-manning on my side. They switched up some things that we didn’t see on film...They played a lot of two-man. They didn’t show that on film during their previous games. So they played a lot of two-man and they didn’t bail that much on film, and they bailed a lot on me.”Green was the Bengals’ only effective offensive player—he had seven catches for 117 yards in the losing effort.Linebacker Dee Ford continues to be the Chiefs’ best defensive player. Ford sacked Andy Dalton for the fifth sack of his career, and Dalton fumbled on the play but managed to recover the football. Chris Jones also had a nice sack on the evening.Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsChiefs safety Ron Parker picked off Dalton for his first touchdown in his eight-year career. It was the second interception of the season and the 11th for his career. The interception score gave the Chiefs a 38-7 lead with 11 minutes to go in the third quarter and pretty much sealed the game. The Chiefs hardly looked back after the pick-six.As it turns out, rookie linebacker Dorian O’Daniel really does exist. O’Daniel recorded his first career tackle (and tackle for loss) in the third quarter, and he finished with four solo tackles. Watch O’Daniel’s tackle of Bengals running back Joe Mixon here:Thunderous.I liked that it seemed like Reggie Ragland and Anthony Hitchens turned it on in this game, recording three tackles apiece. The Bengals were behind most of the game so they had to throw the ball quite a bit, but the explosive Mixon was held to just 50 rushing yards on 13 carries partly thanks to the effort of Ragland and Hitchens. I have begun to think that Ragland is just starting to get healthy as the Chiefs approach their eighth game of the season.As promised, no losers tonight. Except for maybe these guys. During the four weeks since the bye, the Kansas City Chiefs offense has been averaging 31.5 points per game — and somehow, the offense is being called into question.In these games https://www.thechiefsfanshop.com/Terrance-Smith-Jersey , the Chiefs have been averaging three points per drive — which in itself is extremely good. That would be an NFL-best in every season since 2012 (and farther) except for 2016, in which the Atlanta Falcons averaged 3.06 points per drive.In 2018, three points per drive is second to the New Orleans Saints at 3.33 points per drive. Leading up to the bye week, the Chiefs had been leading the NFL in points per drive, and still sit comfortably in second with 3.26 points per drive. At first glance, a difference of a quarter to a half of a point per drive this number seems rather minuscule. During the last four weeks, the Chiefs offense has been performing at a historically elite level in terms of efficiency — but what that hides is how much better it had been before. The Chiefs offense had been clicking and producing at such an absurd rate that it was able to hide even obvious deficiencies on the defense. As the offense has trended back towards simply being elite — rather than unfathomably good — the Chiefs as a whole have appeared more vulnerable to every team they’ve played in recent games. It’s more than just the numbers, though. The offense looks like it is having a more difficult time sustaining drives and churning out big plays as often as it did before. The team went through plenty of turmoil during their bye week.Both the Kareem Hunt situation and having to deal with a longer-term injury to Sammy Watkins have certainly played a part in the offensive downturn.Here in the Arrowhead Pride Laboratory, we’ve been talking all year about how important Sammy Watkins is to this offense — despite his modest production — but it’s starting to show more each and every week. But that’s the not issue we are going to discuss today.Instead, we’ll look at how the Chiefs offense is predicated on player execution rather than coaching strategy. Chiefs offensive schemeJoe Nicholson-USA TODAY SportsThe focus here is mostly on the passing game — which, by the way, is insanely good.It has been based almost entirely around players executing better than their opposition. It sounds fairly simple — and it is — which is why the Chiefs offense was rolling and seemed pretty unstoppable early in the season.But fast-forward to the end of the year, and defenses now have double-digit weeks of film on the offense, and can begin to counter it with specific coverages or alerts to their traditional plays defending the Chiefs. Then it’s up to the Chiefs coaching staff to make adjustments to the things that have been giving them problems.Here is where the problem lies: in the past four weeks, the Chiefs have played four teams that run a lot of similar defensive concepts. All of them play a lot of single-high shells and try to mix man, static zone and pattern match zone from it. The issue the Chiefs are having offensively is a failure to attack these tendencies. The Chiefs are calling their game, running their system, and asking their players to just out-execute a defense — regardless of where the advantage lies schematically. Failure to attack base coverageThis mesh concept is a play the Chiefs run multiple times every single week. There is a hi-lo pick set from the strong side of the formation Allen Bailey Color Rush Jersey , while an underneath drag comes from the weak side. The Chiefs will mix it up some — having the drag between the two picks, under both, stopping, continuing to the sideline, etc. — but the concept is having three players cross the middle of the formation to create a traffic jam.The issue is that the Seahawks never showed any inkling of being in man coverage. They showed zone coverage the whole time, and ran Cover-3 far more than any other coverage. For a third-down play to be called that attacks man coverage against that team is an oversight — and the results showed it. Every level of the mesh design is covered as the defenders pass off and track each player perfectly.So the only real threat on the play becomes Patrick Mahomes’ legs as he breaks contain. The play could have been salvaged and a first down completed — but not through the design of the play. Failure to account for defensive adjustmentsThe Seahawks also made adjustments to their base coverage to help defend against the Chiefs attacking defenses up the middle. With Mahomes’ arm talent, the Chiefs will run the seams to death against any coverage, and he has the ability to fit the ball into tight windows between deep zone defenders. The Seahawks, in turn, decided to routinely run a linebacker under any inside receiver going vertical so they were essentially running into the deep hole like they were running Tampa-2 — even without running Cover-2 everywhere else. Again, this play doesn’t really counter a base Cover-3, because all three vertical routes are threatening different defenders and the underneath receivers are spaced out from everyone else. The Chiefs have been able to live with this because if there is a window, Mahomes has the ability to hit any one of the three vertical routes between zones. Seattle countered that by using that linebacker to trail under those inside vertical routes, which created a bracket. With the spacing favorable to Seattle on the other routes, the bracket on the corner post takes away what appears to be the receiver Mahomes wanted, making him force the throw underneath as pressure comes. Seattle did this for the majority of the game. The Chiefs have to a better job adapting and attacking the weakness of a defense as it presents itself — rather than doing their own thing.The Chiefs offense is still goodThis isn’t to say the Chiefs offense isn’t dangerous, or that the team is struggling mightily to score points. Quite the opposite:the offense is playing at an elite level. They have just taken a step back from where they were.Part of that is that is because there are fewer “easy” plays generated by the scheme. The Chiefs have moved the ball, scored points and even had big plays Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Jersey , but much of it has been because individual players have made great plays.The Chiefs run a vertical concept here that would be great vs Cover-3.Unfortunately,the Seahawks are in a two-high safety look. The Chiefs play it well — looking to attack the seam between the two safeties — but again, Seattle is bracketing the innermost receiver running a vertical. Mahomes drops the ball in the perfect spot while Travis Kelce elevates and secures the catch in traffic.It was a great play for a big gain, but It just wasn’t easy. More and more often, the Chiefs’ big plays are resulting from exceptional plays by Mahomes, Kelce, or Tyreek Hill. You need that in the playoffs.You need star players to play big, but not everything should be this way. Against Seattle the week before, the San Francisco 49ers were able to get wide-open receivers downfield every other drive, while the Chiefs had to pull off plays like this — or Hill’s slot fade — for their big plays. There needs to be a changeThose that have followed the Chiefs since Andy Reid got here — or even the Philadelphia Eagles while Reid was there — know this is somewhat of a pattern for him. He has a brilliant offensive mind and can draw up play after play from formation after formation.He then knows how to structure them within a game to get the most out of them. But later in the year, teams begin to see patterns in what Reid is doing and begin to adjust their defenses to defend his tendencies. It’s on Reid to adjust his offensive game plan to attack the specific defense on the field, rather than to just run his offense every week.As players get healthier, there should be improvement in the Chiefs offense.Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff sounds like he’s close to coming back, Cam Erving should be a go this week and Sammy Watkins is still expected back in the playoffs. This should improve the pass protection, as well as bring a higher level of execution from the receivers. Once everyone is back, the offense may even come out being unbelievably good again.But Andy Reid can still help the team by becoming more precise with his offensive game plan each week. If this team is going to contend for the Super Bowl, he will need to.
