Patrick Mahomes And Chiefs' Offense 'Gonna Push It!'

The Kansas City Chiefs, despite being back-to-back Super Bowl Champions, are still looking to improve an offense that struggled at times a season ago.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes struggled with the deep ball last season. The former Texas Tech Red Raider tossed six of his career-high 14 interceptions on passes over 20 yards. Those struggles led the Chiefs front office to add weapons for their All-Pro quarterback this offseason.

In free agency, the Chiefs signed sub 4.40 speedsters Marquise "Hollywood" Brown and Mecole Hardman to stretch the field, and then selected Texas Longhorns burner Xavier Worthy who turned in the fastest 40-yard time (4.21) in the history of the NFL Combine.

Coach Andy Reid wants Mahomes to quit settling for check-downs as much this season.

“If I don’t, he throws little jabs at me like, ‘Oh, you want to throw the check-down here?”’ Mahomes said. “I’m like, ‘I got you, Coach; we’re going to push it.’ It has been fun.”

NFL teams have not entered the “dead period” where players take vacations and workout on their own. Per the collective bargaining agreement, teams aren’t allowed to have contact with players again until the start of training camp.

Mahomes has been known to host his receivers in the past years to make sure everyone is on the same page.

If all of these blazing-fast receivers are on the field at the same time, Mahomes and the Chiefs are going to score a lot of points and win a lot of games in their quest for a third-straight Super Bowl Championship.
