Here's another factor. The opponents are scoring 9 points per game less against the Chiefs in 2023 compared to 2022 for the first 5 games. I tend to think Andy would amp up some things if he felt they needed to do it in a shootout scenario.

This is an important point.
It's a team sport. This is a much better defense to start this year than any previous Mahomes year. And it's about to get a shot in the arm with Omenihu's return.
Maybe this offense finishes top five statistically instead of number one. But if the defense is top five too that's an awfully tough team to beat.
