Fans are now focused on what needs to be done in order to prevent being next year’s laughing stock on top of being this year’s. Here are some changes the Chiefs need to make if they are committed to turning their franchise around.1. Stop the turnovers and start the discipline.Coming into Sunday, the Chiefs have 10 more turnovers than any other team in the NFL.
