I think red zone offense could go from what was previously a weakness to a major strength. But we’ll have to be able to run the rock down there a little too...
That makes sense, I suppose. I don't disagree. Not one whit.

Yet, it's possible that the 2018 Chiefs will be far more effective in that 20- to 35-yard (not quite red) zone. My theory is thusly stated; Mahomes can throw a ball 30 yards with as much velocity and accuracy as a normal quarterback throws a 10-yarder. If that is true, our TD strike zone just got a lot bigger.

As a result, we may spend less time in the "red zone" compared to other teams. In other words, we don't need no stinkin' red zone.
