The incredible stat that worries Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs: They’re vulnerable to any team!

The Kansas City Chiefs secured their ninth consecutive AFC West title with a tense 19-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. The win pushed their record to 12-1, maintaining their position as a top contender in the AFC. However, the game once again highlighted an ongoing trend – the Chiefs‘ narrow escapes in close matchups.

With just moments left on the clock, third-string kicker Matthew Wright became the unlikely hero. He nailed a 31-yard field goal that initially struck the left upright before bouncing through, sealing Kansas City’s third straight win.

The Chiefs have shown a knack for late-game magic, but some see this pattern as a cause for concern. Former NFL head coach and current analyst Rex Ryan didn’t hold back in his critique of Kansas City’s offense.

“They’re vulnerable to any team, and I’ve said that before-any team,” Ryan said.

“Because teams you think they’re going to blow out, they don’t. Here’s why: They’re the least explosive offense in the National Football League.

“You have one of the greatest quarterbacks we’ve ever seen, and you don’t have any explosives on offense. Now, part of that is because they don’t protect the quarterback.”

Indeed, protection has been a persistent issue for Mahomes this season. He was sacked three times by the Chargers, bringing his season total to 35.

This marks the third consecutive game in which Mahomes has been sacked at least three times. Despite the pressure, Mahomes continues to shine in critical moments, helping the Chiefs win 10 games this season that were decided by seven points or less.

yan did offer some perspective on Kansas City’s strengths, acknowledging Mahomes’ prowess in clutch moments.

“In the last two minutes, oh, hell no, I don’t want to sign up to play that guy,” Ryan admitted. “No chance.”
