Not much changed for the Kansas City Chiefs offense after the bye week. Penalties, turnovers, and dropped passes continued to persist for the unit, but coaches and players still believe the issues are fixable.
Maybe they are, but with it being so late in the season it is also possible that this is what K.C. is on offense. Time will tell if Andy Reid and company can work some magic and get back on the right track.
