Patrick Mahomes on Thursday took the blame for a lack of production from the Chiefs' wide receivers and problems with the team's passing game.
Stephen A. Smith says the wide receivers are the reason for the Chiefs' lack of scoring output this season. "If I start playing better, everybody will start playing better," he said."I missed some opportunities throughout the game, and so I've just got to put us in better positions and [start] making better decisions so that the guys can go out there and work for me and make plays down the field.
"You want to attack down the field. It makes defenses have to account for that. You never want to be stuck throwing the checkdowns underneath every single time because that's when you can really condense the offense. We take pride of being able to stretch it vertically and horizontally. That'll be something that I'll manage throughout my career.''
The Chiefs haven't been getting consistent production from their wide receivers in particular. Chiefs wideouts are tied for 25th in catches , 18th in yards , tied for 19th in touchdowns and 32nd in drop rate ."We have a couple of young guys that we're kind of bringing along,'' coach Andy Reid said of the wide receivers."But I think they're doing a pretty good job.
