The Kansas City Chiefs have not had the year they were hoping for after making the Super Bowl for three consecutive seasons. They now will have their season end after this week and figure out how to get back into a competitive place as a franchise. There were a lot of holes that were covered up on the roster, but one person has highlighted what the team needs in order to improve for the 2026 season. Let’s take a look at what they had to say about the team’s resolution.

Kansas City Chiefs Get Their 2026 New Year’s Resolution

NFL Contributor Zach Tantillo wrote an article highlighting New Year’s Resolutions for all 32 teams and discussed how the Kansas City Chiefs need to draft Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. Below is the snippet he wrote about this:

“The Chiefs’ run game remains one of the roster’s most pressing weaknesses. Kansas City ranks near the bottom of the league in rushing yards after contact, its running back unit sits 27th in PFF rushing grade and is tied for last in explosive runs by running backs. Adding Heisman finalist Jeremiyah Love would provide an immediate jolt. Love ranks as the fifth-highest-graded running back in the PFF College era (since 2014), and Chiefs fans are selecting him more than any other player with Kansas City’s first-round pick in the PFF Mock Draft Simulator.”

Love was a beast throughout the 2025 college football season, recording 21 total touchdowns and finishing inside the top 10 in the country in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, total touchdowns, and yards per carry. The Chiefs certainly need help running the football as they enter Week 18 at 23rd in the NFL with 108.0 rushing yards per game. Since 2018, the Chiefs have not had a 1000+ rushing yard season by a player, so that would certainly help the offense be more dynamic with Patrick Mahomes returning from a torn ACL.
