Chiefs OC Matt Nagy opens up about the offense’s frustration vs. Raiders: ‘We wanted to be better’

The Kansas City Chiefs have the best record in the AFC but are far from satisfied with their performance on offense. Offensive Coordinator Matt Nagy addressed Patrick Mahomes’ frustrated appearance during last Friday’s victory over the Las Vegas Raiders at his press conference on Thursday.

“I know there was the question in regard to how he was in the game there in the red zone and on that one play, but that’s never been who Patrick is; it’s truly not; the frustration part is the team aspect of us,” said Nagy. “We were all frustrated; we wanted to be better in that game. You get opportunities to close a game out the last two weeks; as an offense, we’ve had the opportunity to do that, and we haven’t done that.”

The Chiefs offense has shown signs of improvement over the last few weeks, with significant performances from Mahomes, but there are still some holes in the red zone efficiency.

“I think, leading up to that point, that’s where it kind of got to a point whether there’s penalties, whether there’s missed opportunities, whatever it is, all of us together, I think it’s just one of those things that we know we’ve got to be better,” said Nagy “we can be better, we have to be better moving forward here towards the end of the season and into the playoffs.”

Kansas City will host the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night with a chance to clinch another AFC West division title. An offensive explosion would be ideal to calm the concerns heading into the postseason.
