Chiefs offense had a lot of problems this year. Multiple starting OL were out for big chunks of the season, Tyreek Hill was out for a big chunk of the season, Sammy Watkins was out for awhile, Mahomes' ankle was screwed for a huge chunk of the season, and Mahomes' dislocated knee cost him 2.5 games plus forced him to be pretty conservative when he returned.
It seemed Andy Reid went into "Alex Smith" mode with the playcalling to help Mahomes avoid further injury. I'm glad he did this. You can win plenty of games with the Alex Smith playcalling. Just get into the playoffs and then unleash hell downfield with Mahomes and his weapons. Fancy stats in the regular season don't mean anything at the end of the day.
