649 back on track

"After a tough loss, have the Kansas City Chiefs really gotten back on track for victories?"

This is not a provocation, but an objective discussion.

For one, the performance of the Kansas City Chiefs has indeed been unstable, with a collapse during the middle of last season that was simply inexplicable and this season's victories have been uneven as well.

Secondly, although people have continuously criticized Smith's lack of explosiveness in the playoffs, as a stable quarterback, his consistent output during the regular season undoubtedly sets the tone for the team. Now Mahomes, young and vibrant, may also experience fluctuations, which is a reality.

Thirdly, it's not just the quarterback, the Kansas City Chiefs struggled last season primarily with a young roster, and this season they've gone further by promoting sophomores and juniors. The growth of a young team still needs to withstand more tests.
