Things are unraveling for the Chiefs on Christmas Day.
In the second half, Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco went to sit on the trainer’s table and fell right through it, summing up the horrendous day for the Chiefs.
It just has not been the day for the Chiefs. The game began with -18 yards by Kansas City in the first quarter. Then, after Pacheco scored a touchdown in the second quarter, the Raiders scored a fumble recovery and a pick-six to take a 17-7 lead into the half.
On top of that, Pacheco was later ruled out for the game with a concussion, and as the saying goes, when it rains it pours.
The Chiefs entered the day with a 9-5 record and three losses in the last five games, although they are still in the lead for the AFC West and should be able to win the division. Nonetheless, this offensive output from a team with Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes is not encouraging whatsoever, and changes need to be made this offseason if things continue at this rate.
The Chiefs finish the regular season with games against the Cincinnati Bengals (without Joe Burrow) and Los Angeles Chargers (without Justin Herbert), so there is hope on the horizon.
