Summary

On this episode of the Chiefs Squad show, Aaron Ladd, Darren Smith, Ryan Tracy, and J.C. Pearson break down Kansas City's most pivotal two-game, five-day stretch of their season. With playoff hopes on the line, the crew debates whether this week's matchup against the Colts is truly a "must win" for the Chiefs, and they don’t hold back in assessing the offense's recent struggles. The big question: Can Patrick Mahomes will Kansas City to a victory, or is there too much on his plate? The team scrutinizes game plan adjustments, Mahomes’ performance, offensive identity, and coaching decisions, while previewing how the defense can contain Colts playmakers like Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor. The episode wraps up with bold predictions, a little locker room banter, and a look ahead to postgame reactions.
