Puka Nacua Names Reason Behind Chiefs’ 2025 Collapse

While blaming someone who has no impact on the field isn't a valid reason, Nacua's comment seems to be a factor for NFL fans who were rooting for the Chiefs to fall apart. And while the Swifties could be enraged by the comment, Nacua is dealing with a much bigger issue that also stemmed from N3on's stream.

Below is what Nacua said to apologize for a gesture made on the livestream, which several took offense to.

• "When I appeared the other day on a social media livestream, it was suggested to me to perform a specific movement as part of my next touchdown celebration. At the time, I had no idea this act was antisemitic in nature and perpetuated harmful stereotypes against Jewish people," Nacua wrote. "I deeply apologize to anyone who was offended by my actions, as I do not stand for any form of racism, bigotry, or hate of another group of people."

What Really Went Wrong for the Chiefs?

A lot went into the Chiefs' collapse this season. The offensive line was still a big issue, as Patrick Mahomes was sacked 34 times and would have set a new career-high in that area if it weren't for his injury.

Additionally, the defense couldn't make timely stops as well, and the offense was not able to finish in the red zone. So, whether Nacua made a joke of who to blame or not, the blame falls within the organization, as their offseason approach needs to be focused on the running game and offensive line.
