Can the Chiefs get back on track vs the Lions? 2025 NFL Week 6 Preview

Next up: the @Lions.

Inside the NFL - 1993, Week 1 - Chiefs vs Bucs

Andy Reid said every player on the active roster will participate in today's practice.

No injuries to report for the Chiefs today, per Coach Reid. Everybody will practice.

Nice screen design but Devin Llyod sniffs it out and obliterates Kelce and kills the screen but Mahomes scrambles for 8

Spring 1993: Marcus Allen goes on his free agency tour before signing with the Chiefs.

Plenty to learn from MNF in Jacksonville.

Yikes: Tyreek Hill names his Top 5 QBs in the NFL. - Lamar Jackson - Josh Allen - Patrick Mahomes - Baker Mayfield - Joe Burrow Tua Tagovailoa was not named 😬😳

HBD, @JerryTillery! Hope you have a fantastic day 🎂

The good news about the Chiefs' special teams woes is at least in week six they won't be playing against a kickoff return unit that has the best average starting field position on returns in the entire lea...oh wait never mind.

Eyes forward.

Week 5 RB usage! -Workhorses with 70%+ snaps: Kyren, CMC, Achane, White, Gainwell (pre-bye), Javonte, JT, Pollard, Saquon, Cook, Mason. Starting all with confidence except Gainwell (Warren back), Pollard (Spears role probably increases, and, you know), Mason (on a bye so don't start him lol lmao rofl) -Plenty of touches despite not as cool snap rate: Bijan, Gibbs, Dowdle, Henry, Jacobs, ETN, Hall, Jeanty, Dobbins, Carter, Judkins, and Skattebo (pretty confident he remains clear RB1 even once Tracy returns) -Chiefs?: Muddled three-way committee all season with Hunt leading the way in carries and getting goal line work. Pacheco still probably profiles as the best fantasy option weekly but man, not enticing. Maybe Brashard Smith eventually gets a bigger role but right meow pure gadget. Skeptical he gets McKinnon-esque role due to size/pass pro concerns (0 pass blocking snaps this season) -Damn injury Gods: Lean Vidal > Haskins but not overly confident. Just think behind this o-line and given LAC willingness to throw the ball this year, give me the more explosive pass-catching option. Of course, I unfortunately know as a Columbus Ohio lifer that Haskins is good around the goal line. Wouldn't be surprised if old friend Gus Edwards joins this. Not confidently starting either for at least this week -Damn injury Gods Part II: No more Antonio Gibson in NE. Pain. Gotta think TreVeyon will get more work if Rhamondre fumbles 10-11 more times this year. But yeah: Probably 60/40 Mondre for now, would be a lot cooler if Henderson made more out of his opportunities -- 32nd and 30th in yards per carry/reception among 43 qualified RBs -Kendre Miller is good: And if Kamara ever gets hurt/traded.... -Workload there, efficiency is not: Chase Brown and D'Andre Swift. I'm especially pissed off about Brown. I know the offense sucks, but man, 83 touches without a single 15+ yard gain this season. The next-closest RB has 31. Concerns, but I'm generally pushing through them: Feature Kenneth Walker and David Montgomery. Would it be a lot cooler if both had more consistent workloads and didn't have to cede so many touches to their offense's other RB? Of course, but life isn't fair, and you probably don't have any better RB options on your roster, so fire up these talented real-life RBs and hope for the best. Maybe call your Mom and say hello while you're at it you selfish piece of shit (just kidding, kind of). BILL!: Bill Croskey-Merritt is a certified DAWG and leads the NFL in yards per carry (6.6). The usage bump last week was nice but I'm still a bit hesitant in assuming 15+ weekly touches with WSH continuing to keep C-Rob and McNichols involved. That said, smash matchup vs. Da Bears -- fire up Bill with more confidence than ever this week.

Kareem Hunt's 33-yard rush vs. Jaguars picked up 31 yards over expected, making it the NFL's 5th-best RB rush of the week, per @NextGenStats. Hunt's 0.8 rush yards over expected per carry for the season ranks 15th out of 47 qualified NFL backs.

Happy Birthday to the Chiefs all-time touchdown leader, Priest Holmes 🎂

If you want to see it squint a little, you can see a silver lining that the Chiefs basically had to hand the game over to lose to a good team on the road. But you have to REALLY want to see it.

"We have to find a way to be better as a team, come together, and play better throughout the rest of the season.”

The script has flipped on the Chiefs 😱

If you want to think the Chiefs aren't any good, you're gonna look dumb. What I saw last night was an offense that's getting better—and still hasn't played a single snap with its best (by a good margin) skill-position player, and has a rookie left tackle improving every week.

Idea of Brashard Smith is provocative, but Chiefs have used him at RB (24 snaps) as much as he's been out wide/in the slot (21) Remember Collinsworth on SNF vs. Giants saying he asked Andy Reid if more RB usage was coming, Reid basically said they have bigger guys to handle that

The way they practiced the play, Brown is probably right in not turning his head yet but Mahomes was likely hoping Brown would have saw the space and adjust like Kelce would have

I'm bothered by the self-inflicted wounds (writing about them now) costing the Chiefs the game. But I think they can get most of those right just fine. This? IDK if this will change.

Pass/run funnel defense are so good at stopping one aspect of offense that their opponents often consistently attack the weakness. Defenses much better against the run than pass: -Bucs (27th in EPA per dropback, 1st in EPA per rush) -Patriots (26th, 4th) -Raiders (28th, 7th) -Seahawks (22nd, 3rd) -Browns (20th, 2nd) And defenses much better against pass than run (these are usually the better overall groups): -Vikings (1st in EPA per dropback, 25th in EPA per rush) -Jaguars (3rd, 24th) -Chiefs (10th, 31st) -Bills (11th, 28th)

The number of ways the Chiefs had to shoot themselves in the foot to lose that game is genuinely remarkable.

+Jaguars overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat the Chiefs, 31-28.
