PFF: Two Chiefs linemen have earned top pass-blocking grades this season

The Kansas City Chiefs’ perfect season remains intact heading into Week 11 and the defending Super Bowl champions are well on their way to a third-straight title.

Though the Chiefs’ playmakers have struggled for most of the season, Kansas City’s offensive line has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise lackluster offensive attack.

Led by star center Creed Humphrey and veteran guard Joe Thuney, the Chiefs’ interior line has been among the best in the league this season, ranking first in run-block win rate and fifth in pass-block win rate.

On Wednesday, Pro Football Focus released their highest-graded pass-blocking offensive lineman this season, with Thuney and Humphrey leading the league at their respective positions entering Week 11.

 

As Kansas City looks to keep its undefeated season alive against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, expect the Chiefs’ stellar offensive line to continue providing perfect protection for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
