Chiefs Offensive Line Grades Entering Week 3 Showdown vs Giants

Following the 2024 NFL campaign, the Kansas City Chiefs' biggest concern going into the offseason was their offensive line. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes got sacked 36 times last season, which was a career-high, largely due to the offensive line's inability to keep him protected.

Despite the challenge of avoiding getting sacked, Mahomes and the Chiefs punched their third straight ticket to the Super Bowl, regardless of offensive line woes. The offensive line fell apart in Super Bowl LIX, however, as Mahomes was brought down six times in the game, leading to the 40-22 defeat.

This offseason was filled with thoughts and actions to improve the offensive line for the 2025 campaign. Adding Josh Simmons through the 2025 NFL Draft, signing veteran Jaylon Moore, and reaching a contract extension agreement with Trey Smith, the Chiefs' offensive line looked better on paper than it did last season.

Going into Week 3's contest against the New York Giants, the offensive line still remains a topic of conversation. The Chiefs have yet to win a game this season, with hopes they can take down the Giants tonight. One way they'll be successful in doing so is for the offensive line to play as well as they possibly can.
