But the weapons absolutely had a lot to do with it. You take any teams WR1 AND WR2 that early in the season, and they're going to have problems.

And they can say whatever they want, I think the Chiefs were probably surprised by how little Kelce had left in the tank.
I know they weren't exactly leaning into him much early on, but I think they always kinda thought they could. And then when the bullets started flying and he was really struggling to raise his level of play, that knocked ANOTHER leg out from under PM's stool.
The burst was waning a bit in 2023 but you still saw it. What I noticed with Kelce was mostly that he moved in straight lines more than he had in years past. And got tired more often. But there was still burst there.
This year it was just never there at all.
They had to build the plane while they were flying it and it just never had the engines to go supersonic. I don't really know how that's at all difficult for some people to grasp.
Did they not WATCH this season?
