Chiefs look like extremely flawed team, and there's no easy fix

Thanks to their 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday's Super Bowl rematch, the Kansas City Chiefs are off to their first 0-2 start of the Patrick Mahomes era. It is also the first time that Mahomes has ever lost three games in a row as a pro quarterback if you go back to last year's Super Bowl.

All of that on its own is very concerning for the Chiefs. What's even more concerning is this does not look to be a fluke. This just looks like an extremely flawed team that has problems on both sides of the football.

Mahomes is not getting any help on offense

On one hand, Mahomes has looked as mortal as he ever has in the NFL through the first two weeks of the 2025 season, and Sunday's game against the Eagles saw him have some truly bad misses in the passing game. 

He finished the day 16-of-29 passing for 187 yards a touchdown and an interception, which are very pedestrian numbers for what the Chiefs are used to seeing from him. But while Mahomes has not played like himself, his supporting cast is a serious problem. 

The offensive line has not performed well, while the wide receiver room and depth chart is a mess with Xavier Worthy injured and Rashee Rice suspended. The most concerning development on the offense, however, is that the usually reliable Travis Kelce is starting to show his age. 

He turned a potential touchdown on Sunday into an interception in the end zone when he was unable to haul in a pass from Mahomes in a big moment in the fourth quarter.
