00:00 We talked about on coast to coast yesterday,

00:02 I said, look, here's the thing, that 10 and 1/2 point number,

00:05 it's too high.

00:06 The reason is the Chiefs offense is not operating

00:09 like they did last year.

00:10 The biggest problem for them that they've had so far

00:13 through the six games is they don't

00:15 have a viable second pass target opposite Kelsey.

00:19 They just don't.

00:19 And Kelsey, give him credit with the low ankle sprain.

00:21 He did a great job, caught all nine targets.

00:23 He saw him limp off.

00:25 He'll get four extra days to get the ankle right.

00:27 Actually, more like six, because they

00:30 won't do anything really with him until Wednesday leading up

00:32 to the next game.

00:32 But Rasheed Rice has flashed a little bit, rookie receiver.

00:36 But he's not been consistent enough yet.

00:38 We talked about Sky Moore before the season,

00:39 a guy they thought would break out.

00:40 He is not.

00:41 They haven't found that guy.

00:42 And that's part of the reason why

00:44 this offense, they keep sprangling around

00:46 to 8 to 12 pass targets, different guys each week,

00:49 because they haven't found that guy.

00:50 And that's a problem.

00:51 They only had 19 points last night.

00:53 I give the Broncos credit for hanging in there.

00:55 In fact, late in the fourth quarter,

00:56 they were covering that number.

00:57 And the Chiefs were able to get that field goal by Butker late.

01:01 But the bottom line is, hey, they've won five in a row.

01:04 You know what happened week one?

01:05 Without Kelsey and Chris Jones, they played well since then.

01:08 But they're not back yet.

01:09 They're clearly not back where they need to be offensively.

01:11 They've got to find that consistent number two

01:13 pass target.

01:14 That, to me, is Matt Nagy, the OC, and Andy Reid's job

01:18 right now is to find that guy.

01:19 And they will continue to search for that.
