The Kansas City Chiefs looked like a shell of themselves Sunday night in Seattle, falling 20-3 to the defending champion Seahawks. Patrick Mahomes and the offense struggled to get anything going, finishing with just 213 total yards and failing to reach the red zone for the first time in the Mahomes era. Mahomes finished 19 of 33 for 165 yards and zero touchdowns with one interception, while Kenneth Walker III managed just 36 yards on 14 carries against his former team.
The loss dropped Kansas City to 5-1 and exposed problems that were easy to overlook during their hot start to the season, particularly the glaring hole at wide receiver. On Monday's episode of "Get Up," ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky argued that the Chiefs need to make a big move before the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10, suggesting the current receiving group isn't good enough to support a Super Bowl run. "When it comes to throwing the ball to a wide receiver, right now Patrick's a bottom-10 quarterback.
And that's not a Patrick thing, that's a receiver thing," Orlovsky said. "You're going to have to beat Jacksonville, you're going to have to beat Cleveland, you're going to have to beat Denver, you'll have to beat New England. Those are really good secondaries.
So, is Brian Thomas Jr. an option? Is Garrett Wilson an option? Is George Pickens an option?
I know this is outrageous, but if you're the Chiefs, you're not good enough." NFL insider Adam Schefter then jumped in and said, "If we're having this conversation a year ago and you said, can you go get Quinnen Williams? Can you go get Sauce Gardner? People would have laughed.
So when you bring up these names, Garrett Wilson, I will say that's the first time I've heard that name. I wouldn't have thought about it. It's not a name that's in everybody's circles.
