The Kansas City Chiefs are among the most disappointing teams in the league so far in 2021.
Patrick Mahomes has at least 1 turnover in the Chiefs’ past 6 games.
The Chiefs invested heavily in pass rushers Frank Clark and Chris Jones, but the defense has been a big disappointment.
This has left many wondering if there is too much to overcome this season for the Chiefs to make the playoffs.
According to Hall of Famer Charles Woodson, he believes the Chiefs are “done,” and will not make the playoffs.
Woodson says:
“What teams are doing is they are playing bend but don’t break defense.”
“They know they can get there with 4, get him (Mahomes) under pressure, and he will make some mistakes.”
“If you have an offense on the other side that you know can compete with them, you know you can score with them.”
“The Kansas City Chiefs are not gonna make the playoffs.”

The Chiefs also invested heavily in their offensive line this past offseason.
They have not seen the return on this investment.
Most teams are still getting to Mahomes without doing much blitzing.
The Chiefs can still make the playoffs, but it will not be an easy road.
They are 3-4, but have 5 divisional games remaining.
5 of their next 7 opponents are good teams that will most likely be in the playoffs.
3 of their next 4 opponents include the Cowboys, Packers, and Raiders.
The Chiefs must fix things quickly, but it’s hard to believe that can happen based on what we have seen in the first 7 games of the season.
