Chiefs’ Trade Deadline Approach Sparks Strong Reaction

Several rooms could have been improved at the trade deadline, such as adding a running back option, which so many fans thought the franchise would do.

Their staying put invoked a strong reaction from Priyanshu Choudhary of Pro Football Network, claiming Kansas City as trade deadline losers.

Are the Chiefs Losers?

"From the player to the team that most of the NFL assumed would make the hardest push for him, the Kansas City Chiefs stood pat at the trade deadline. Despite a 5-4 record that has them as the eighth seed and out of the playoffs looking in, the organization chose not to make any hasty decisions," Choudhary wrote.

"Whether that comes back to bite them or they can soldier forward will be an interesting wrinkle over the second half of the season. But with other contenders in the conference like the Colts and the Baltimore Ravens making major moves, it will be interesting to see how much their stagnancy ends up haunting them."

The Chiefs' November Slate

Coming out of Week 10's bye, the Chiefs get back to action against their AFC West rival, the Denver Broncos. In Week 12, the impressive Indianapolis Colts will visit Arrowhead, and in Week 13, the Chiefs will travel to take on the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

With the wishy-washiness of the Chiefs this season, the second half of their season has to get off to a hot start. To prove they didn't need to add at the trade deadline, beating the Broncos would solidify their chances of contesting for another AFC West division title.
