I would say it is not just not replacing Juju but my also that teams last year were still playing us like we had Tyreek. Last year we got great efficiency even with pop gun weapons because the book on KC was to play zone with safeties deep. Last year we adjusted back to that and ran the ball and took the easy plays.
This year those plays aren't there because the Chiefs mystique is over with.
Denver just said nope, not scared. And then proceeded to play us in a way no one had dared last year. And they got away with it because we don't have a way to punish that. No one is scared of anyone on our team going deep now. Our highest paid WR is a decoy that can't track a football.

Don't think any metrics bear any of this out, in terms of how teams are playing them. But it sounds good.
