[TD]This should be a get-right game
for the Chiefs. The defense isn’t
good, but it’s the poor play of
the offense that has surprised
some. This will be their time to
get it turned around. Patrick
Mahomes has struggled lately,
but he won’t in this one.Chiefs big.

The 27-year-old signed a $63 million, three-yea contract in the offseason to stay with the Giants, and he had been under scrutiny earlier in the year for not meeting expectations. But he is now third on the team with 39 tackles.
CHIEFS PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Patrick Mahomes is always worth watching, but it’s usually because of the did-you-see-that kind of plays he makes. But this season, Mahomes has struggled behind a revamped offensive line and already has thrown nine interceptions while losing two fumbles.

He’s been the lead back after Clyde Edwards-Helaire got hurt, but he’s combined for 26 carries and 82 yards the past two weeks.
KEY INJURIES: Giants S-PR Jabrill Peppers (knee) went on IR earlier in the week after being hurt on a punt return against Carolina.

SERIES NOTES: The Giants have dominated the series, winning 11 of 14 meetings and five of the last six. The only three wins by Kansas City have come at home: 38-17 in 1983, 20-17 in overtime in 1995, and 31-7 in 2013.
STATS AND STUFF: Giants QB Daniel Jones has had 100-plus ratings in two of his three road games. He is aiming for his fourth straight Monday night game with at least 25 completions. His 229 yards rushing are third in the league among quarterbacks. … WR Darius Slayton returned last week for New York after missing three games with a hamstring injury, and he had five catches for a team-high 63 yards. He has had two 100-yard games and two-plus TD catches in two of his last three on Monday night. … Giants WR Dante Pettis caught five passes for 39 yards and a TD last week. He also threw a 16-yard pass to Jones on a flea flicker. … Giants TE Evan Engram had season-high six receptions last week. … The Giants and Colts are the only NFL teams to have a takeaway in each of their first seven games this season. … CB James Bradberry got his third interception last week. J.C. Jackson of New England is the only other defensive back with at least three picks each of past three seasons. … PK Graham Gano kicked field goals of 44, 49 and 53 yards against Carolina and was chosen NFC special teams player of the week. … The Chiefs’ four losses are equal to their total the past two seasons combined. … Chiefs coach Andy Reid needs three wins to pass Curley Lambeau (226) for fifth in career regular-season victories. … Mahomes already has three more interceptions (nine) this season than all of last season. He had the league’s lowest interception rate in 2020. … Mahomes is averaging 7.5 yards per attempt, a half-yard lower than any other season in his five-year career. … Mahomes has thrown 35 TD passes with only seven interceptions in 12 starts against NFC teams. … Chiefs TE Travis Kelce had eight catches for 109 yards in his last game against New York. … WR Tyreek Hill has had five straight games with at least five catches for Kansas City.

Barkley has missed the past two weeks with his ankle injury.

Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsIf the Kansas City Chiefs (3-4) want to turn their season around, they’ll have to take it one week at a time — and that starts when they host the New York Giants (2-5) during Week 8’s Monday Night Football. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Chiefs as 9.5 point favorites.
For both teams, it’s pretty much do-or-die; the Chiefs have the NFL’s toughest remaining schedule, so losing to one of the weakest teams in that stretch would all but end any hopes for the postseason. The Giants are backed into a corner as well: falling to 2-6 would be nearly impossible to overcome.
Even with the difficult schedule coming up, the Chiefs play five of their next six games at home. If there were a recipe for turning a season around, it would start with a long stretch of home games — but winning the first one is the only thing to worry about right now.
I have five things to watch in this primetime matchup:
1. Establishing the running game
Steve Roberts-USA TODAY SportsI cringed while typing this headline.
When you have quarterback Patrick Mahomes — and the receiving weapons to whom he can throw — the running game shouldn’t be that important, but this team isn’t performing like a typical Chiefs team.
At this point, it might go without saying — but Mahomes has been pressing and playing uncomfortably. One way to help him regain his confidence is to minimize his dropbacks and run the ball effectively — and keep doing it until the defense has to give more attention to it. And if they don’t? Run it down their throats all night.
Not only does this relieve some of the pressure on Mahomes — who is the NFL’s current leader in dropbacks — it also builds confidence in the offensive line. Right now, they are clearly a stronger unit in the running game than they are in pass protection — in fact, they might be one of the league’s best run-blocking units. Giving them more opportunities to simply fire off and move a defender will strengthen their control of the line of scrimmage.
This does not mean that the Chiefs should run it on every early down — and it doesn’t mean they should run the same play over and over again, either. It’s about taking some pressure off the quarterback and allowing your linemen to do what they do best. Even if they again fall into an early hole, I’d like the offense to trust the run to string together positive plays.
2. Chiefs pass rushers showing improvement
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY SportsNo NFL team has fewer sacks than the Chiefs do this season, notching only eight in seven games. They actually have the 12th-highest team-pressure percentage; they just aren’t finishing these plays.
That said, I believe the defensive line has already begun to turn a corner with their pass-rushing effectiveness — and this could be the game where that progress turns into results. Since defensive end Frank Clark returned in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills, he and the rest of the unit have started penetrating the pocket more each week. With Chris Jones’ return last Sunday, the defensive line is truly at full strength for the first time all season.
Clark’s pressure rate of 13.6% since Week 5 is one of the highest rates in the league for a player playing as many snaps as he has. Defensive tackle Jarran Reed has begun to make an impact, too: he has a team-leading six quarterback hits — three of them since Week 5. The continuing improvement of both of those players will allow Jones to rush more from an interior position — where he impacts the quarterback best.
On top of that, the Chiefs have started showing another wrinkle: using defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton as an edge rusher. In a small sample size, his quickness — combined with the raw strength as an interior lineman — has resulted in good snaps.
Considering the performance of the Giants’ offensive line — and injuries to its starters — this is the week for the pass rush to come alive; a big day could help build more consistency down the rest of the schedule.

3. New play designs in the passing game
Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports
One way to help Mahomes’ confidence is to be effective on the ground, but there’s more to it than that. When he is asked to drop back, he needs to take what the defense gives him — but he also needs head coach Andy Reid to work his magic, scheming receivers open for big plays.The Chiefs know what they’ll be seeing in most of this game: some version of Cover 2 — whether there is man coverage underneath the deep safeties or short zones. We need to see more route concepts that take advantage of a Cover 2. That means vertical routes to the middle of the field between the two safeties — and more route combinations that push the deep safety to one side, where he must focus on one vertical route or the other.
Mahomes needs to improve his patience, keeping himself from pushing the ball downfield unnecessarily — but if receivers were actually open, he wouldn’t have to force deep passes. It is a lot tougher to do against the soft coverages they’ve been facing — but it’s not impossible. So on Monday, watch for Reid to step up his play designs — and improve when those plays are called.
4. Linebackers in pass coverage
Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY SportsThe Giants use play-action passes at a higher rate than average, doing it mostly from under center — and consistently getting quarterback Daniel Jones out in space on bootlegs. That will test the second level of the Kansas City defense, impacting their sideline-to-sideline range and their ability to pick up crossing routes.
Unfortunately, the Chiefs’ linebackers have been bad at that this season — especially last week against the Tennessee Titans. Their passing game was highly efficient because of the open throwing windows they saw at the intermediate level.
With the emphasis on stopping Titans running back Derrick Henry, the linebackers had an excuse for biting on the run — but that shouldn’t be the case against the Giants. New York has been inefficient on the ground; its ability to hand off — especially if running back Saquon Barkley doesn’t play — shouldn’t require as much attention.
That should allow the Chiefs’ second-level defenders to be in a better position to take away throwing windows on play-action passes and roll-outs — where this season, Jones has been at his best.
5. Shakeups in the wide receiver rotation
Photo by Randy Litzinger/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesAnother way to help Mahomes get back in a groove is to consistently play wide receivers whom he can trust to target — and who also have the ability to make a big play. Frankly, that doesn’t describe wide receiver Demarcus Robinson.
Robinson has an incredibly low usage rate for being on the field more than any other skill-position player not named Tyreek Hill or Travis Kelce. He has 110 fewer receiving yards than Byron Pringle — even though he’s played nearly 200 more snaps.
On top of that, he’s been flagged for holding penalties in each of the last three weeks. It’s time to rely less on Robinson — and more on Pringle, Mecole Hardman and Josh Gordon.
11/01/2021 at 11:52 pm #1085405There are 10 games left for the Chiefs. I’ve seen them win 10 games in a row before and that was with Alex Smith at QB. I don’t think they will do that this year but I do think they will win tonight. Every winning streak starts with a win.
Go Chiefs!
