Offense

The Kansas City Chiefs offense was one of the best in football last season, thanks to the MVP performance by first-year starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes took the NFL by storm,  throwing for over 5,000 yards and 50 touchdown passes, as he continued to carve up defenses on a week-to-week basis.

Mahomes’  favorite wide receiver last season was Tyreek Hill, who as we stated earlier, could be suspended at some point during the 2019 NFL season. Outside of Hill, Mahomes has a tremendous rapport with Travis Kelce on and off the field, and Kelce has become one of the better tight ends in football.

With Hill facing suspension, draft pick Mecole Hardman will likely fill his role on this offense due to his game-breaking speed. Kansas City has a strong offensive line, and a plethora of capable running backs, and should be one of the more high-powered offenses in football for the second straight season.
