A major component of winning in the NFL today is trying to figure out advantages in the passing game. That means both schematic advantages on the field and roster-building strategies off the field.
The Chiefs have an obvious advantage on the field with Patrick Mahomes leading the way for their offense. Mahomes has become unequivocally the best quarterback in the NFL and provides a huge competitive advantage against any defense he faces. The team traded Tyreek Hill and didn’t see a dip on offense.
It’s not a secret at this point, but the Chiefs hit a grand slam with their 2022 draft class, and they did it in an unusually valuable manner. Trent McDuffie, George Karlaftis, Bryan Cook, Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson have played a ton of reps on this Chiefs’ defense and are positively impacting what they’re able to do against opposing passing games.
“It’s always been a little talk around the facility,” Trent McDuffie, one of the Chiefs’ first-round picks this year, said about the success of their rookie defenders. “I think these guys do such a good job at just staying in the moment. Just taking things one day at a time.” According to Ben Baldwin of The Athletic, the Chiefs rank 10th in expected points allowed per play since Week 8 of the regular season. They ranked 23rd in expected points allowed per play over the first seven weeks of the season . This is a group that has improved greatly over the course of the season, and they’re playing rookies at positions that require a high level of impact to swing games in the Chiefs’ favor.
