Chiefs' Run Game Struggles, Simmons Shines

0:00It's March 28th. This is NFL News Today, AI-powered stories shaping the season. Kansas City Chiefs are shaking things up with new faces on defense, but key departures left some big holes to fill. Steve Spagnolo's got his work cut out to patch that unit while doing more with less this season. Earlier this week, a wild stat popped up on Patrick Mahomes. He's 16th in the league for rushing yards with 123 after two games. That's ahead of full-time backs like Christian McCaffrey at 15 and the Andre Swift at 17. Crazy for a quarterback, he's the only one on that list. Fans and analysts are buzzing about the run-game struggling though. Isaiah Pacheco and Karim Hun need to break loose more, but the offensive line isn't opening holes consistently and the backs lack that sharp vision. Right now. Rookie offensive lineman Josh Simmons stole the show for the second straight week. He chased down a defender on the sideline and wrecked him, saving what could have been a 100 yard pick 6 right out the end zone.
