In a turn of events that felt impossible just a few months ago, the Kansas City Chiefs are on the verge of missing the NFL playoffs for the first time in Patrick Mahomes's storied career.
Although their record wasn't totally indicative of their play earlier in the season, things seem to have devolved in recent weeks, with the offense unable to make the big plays when it really matters. In a critical game vs. the Texans last Sunday night, for example, head coach Andy Reid made a costly fourth-and-1 call, while Mahomes threw for zero touchdowns and three interceptions. Even veteran Travis Kelce had a game-changing mistake.
