Plus, the run game features Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, and Elijah Mitchell.<\/p>\n<p>However, where does that offense rank?<\/p>\n<p>For Bleacher Report, when ranking all 32\u00a0NFL\u00a0offenses, the Chiefs come in at No. 9.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this point, no one can deny Patrick Mahomes&#8217; greatness,&#8221;\u00a0Bleacher Report writes. &#8220;The same can be said of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and tight end Travis Kelce. All three of them will leisurely stroll into the Pro Football Hall of Fame shortly after their respective careers end.Despite those acknowledgements, the Chiefs weren&#8217;t a top-10 offense last season. In fact, the unit has experienced a downward trend for three straight campaigns. Injuries played their part in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mahomes is magic. The Chiefs will score points. The offensive line remains a sore spot until the group proves it isn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_4182,h_2352,x_0,y_51\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/arrowhead_report\/01jmz982m1jgr4vfygxk.jpg\" alt=\"Will Chiefs Possess A Top 10 Offense in 2025?\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As we saw in the Super Bowl loss, it doesn&#8217;t matter if you have the\u00a0best quarterback\u00a0in football; if he doesn&#8217;t have time, you don&#8217;t have a shot.<\/p>\n<p>So Jaylon Moore and\u00a0Josh Simmons\u00a0need to hit the ground running in 2025, and so does Kingsley Suamataia, who will shift from left tackle to left guard.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of moving pieces for Mahomes&#8217; protection, but if they can mesh together and give No. 15 time to throw without him running for his life, then the Chiefs can have a productive offense.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s a big if.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23500,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;\ud83d\udd25 Are the Chiefs Still a Top-10 Offense in 2025?
