\"CreedAlthough the Kansas City Chiefs haven\u2019t lit up the scoreboard as much as in past years, they\u2019re still 7-0. Part of that is because of their offensive line, led by reliable blockers like center Creed Humphrey and guard Trey Smith.<\/p>\n

Humphrey talked up Smith\u2019s game before Sunday\u2019s matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, via Chiefs Wire\u2019s Ed Easton Jr.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s probably the most physical lineman in the league. He loves getting after guys, putting guys on the ground, getting after him,\u201d said Humphrey. \u201cSo just, the physicality that it brings, and also, the mental prep that he does throughout the week to be able to see things before it\u2019s happening, pre-snap, post-snap, what\u2019s happening, all those things, he does a great job with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe understands schemes and concepts well and what we\u2019re trying to do against what the defense has given us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both players have done their job, as the Chiefs have allowed just 12 sacks thus far, tied for third-least in the league. They also rank second in the NFL with a 68% pass-block win rate and sixth with a 74% run-block win rate, via ESPN Analytics.<\/p>\n

Humphrey\u2019s praise shouldn\u2019t be taken lightly either, as he tops the interior lineman pass-block win rate list at 98%. The two-time Pro Bowler has anchored an offense that\u2019s weathered the storm amidst crippling injuries to Isiah Pacheco, Rashee Rice, and Hollywood Brown.<\/p>\n

Superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes has also had a down year, ranking just 16th in both passing yards (1,651) and touchdowns (eight), and has nine picks to boot. However, the offensive line has protected the three-time Super Bowl champion and opened up lanes in the running game, allowing Kansas City to move the ball enough to win.<\/p>\n

Will the Chiefs stay undefeated for one more week?<\/p>\n

Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith give the Chiefs flexibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While it helps to have explosive playmakers at quarterback and the skill positions, the core fundamentals of football will always lie in the trenches. If Humphrey, Smith, and the rest of Kansas City\u2019s offensive line continue operating at a high level, it\u2019s hard to see how they lose to a Buccaneers team sans Chris Godwin and Mike Evans.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it fires us up and makes everybody else play with that much more of an edge. When you see it in the film, you see your guy doing that. It\u2019s kind of infectious.\u201d Humphrey said about Smith\u2019s energy. \u201cIt makes you want to do it too, and it kind of turns into a competition so you can do it the most on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrey usually wins, but it turns into a competition, and he just does a great job; he brings so much energy to the room and gets guys fired up, so it\u2019s a lot of fun to play with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
