Jerick McKinnon had his breakout game on wild-card weekend. Can he do it again today against the Bills? jfmckessy on why McKinnon should continue to have a major role for the Chiefs throughout their playoff run. FrontOffice33 | ChiefsKingdom
As if the Kansas City Chiefs really needed another offensive star.
McKinnon has been a part of the Chiefs’ roster all season, but his history of past injuries kept him behind both Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Williams on the depth chart. As a result, he was relegated to special teams action primarily. Going into Week 18, the sixth-year back had just seven rushes and 10 receptions. But with Edwards-Helaire going down with a shoulder injury in Week 16 and Williams suffering a toe injury two weeks later, McKinnon finally got more backfield snaps.
It’s only been one game, but McKinnon’s performance and the skill set he showed off make it look like the Chiefs have added a dimension to their offense they’ve been missing. It’s not exactly a secret that Kansas City was—and likely still will be—a pass-first offense. They passed on more than 62% of plays and were sixth in the NFL in pass-play percentage this season. Obviously, a lot of that is because they have one of the best quarterbacks in the sport, but they also lacked a strong run game.
McKinnon thinks quickly, is decisive, and has the agility to make quick, lateral cuts and juke defenders out of their shoes.
