Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs dropped to 0-2 after a 20-17 loss to Philadelphia. He owned the slow start, citing a handful of misreads, a ball batted at the line, and missed deep shots, and pressed that they’ll respond by tightening execution and trusting the process. The offense showed flashes, but timing with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Noah Gray, Tyquan Thornton, and the red-zone target to Travis Kelce weren’t clean enough to convert in big moments.

Mahomes stressed adversity, a willingness to mix in designed runs, and faith in Andy Reid’s aggressive approach on fourth downs. For fantasy managers, the takeaway is to watch the offense for improved rhythm, the evolving target tree, and how KC balances pass game with QB rushing as they prepare to face the Giants.

In short, KC’s offense is close to clicking; a sharper connection with top playmakers and smarter red-zone decisions should unlock the ceiling, especially with Reid’s decision-making and Mahomes’ comfort in big moments. Monitor the Chiefs’ early-season adjustments for fantasy implications.
