The Chiefs’ red-zone offense has to get straightened out
In a 22-6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, the Kansas City Chiefs amassed 422 yards but settled for a season‑low 22 points, exposing red‑zone woes. The Chiefs entered the Chargers’ two‑yard line three times, yet left only seven points after a Mahomes interception on a third‑and‑goal and a halted run by Kenneth Walker on fourth‑and‑goal. Coach Andy Reid blamed poor short‑yardage blocking and missed assignments, noting left tackle Kahlil Benson’s failure to lock down a defender and a concussion to right tackle Jaylon Moore. Mahomes admitted his scramble and forced throw were mistakes, and both he and Reid stress the need for better execution in goal‑line situations to avoid similar setbacks.
