The Kansas City Chiefs offense has struggled to find consistency through six weeks of their 2023 season. Patrick Mahomes seems to have taken a step back after his MVP campaign last year, and his receivers aren’t producing at the same prolific rate that has come to define the Chiefs’ identity in recent seasons.
One thing that Kansas City is doing exceptionally well, though, is forcing missed tackles against opposing defenses. To this point in the season, Chiefs ballcarriers have made defenders miss 69 times, which adds up to the second-highest mark in the league.

Mahomes’ production may have dipped since the regular season kicked off back in September, but Kansas City’s ability to make big plays happen in the running game and with yards after the catch has remained a constant.
Expect Andy Reid and the Chiefs offense to continue leveraging their ability to make opposing players miss in their next matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7.
