Chiefs’ Struggles Continue, with Injuries and Inconsistency Contributing to 5-4 First Half of Season

Following the loss in Buffalo, the Chiefs sit 5-4, leaving their playoff chances uncertain if the postseason started now.
The Kansas City Chiefs have been forced to patch their offensive front as Jawaan Taylor hurt his ankle and Kingsley Suamataia briefly left the game, with Pacheco sidelined by a sprained knee, and they hope to have Taylor and Pacheco back after the bye.
Looking at the defensive performance, Kansas City Chiefs defense was pushed around as Chris Jones, defensive tackle, has just two sacks through nine games, while Trent McDuffie, defensive back, recorded a sack against Buffalo Bills.
Ahead of the Nov. 16 game in Denver, Kansas City faces roster decisions with the Chiefs having a week to recover from injuries and their road record at one.
Patrick Mahomes warned the climb back would be difficult, saying the return will be an uphill battle tied to his consistency, while Andy Reid urged the team to play better in tight games after recent losses.
