Imagine averaging 24.5 points per game and that being cause for concern. The Bears have averaged that for a season just four times since winning the Super Bowl. Scoring 24 points in a game is grounds for a parade.
But the Chiefs’ standards are higher, and that average puts them on course for their lowest scoring season since 2014 — way before Patrick Mahomes’ arrival. And while they haven’t unloaded on anyone other than the Bears when they trounced them 41-10 in Week 3, there’s a general assumption that Mahomes will get them back to being a juggernaut soon enough.
