Summary

Kansas City Chiefs face mounting pressure after dropping to 5-4 and falling outside the playoff picture following their loss to the Buffalo Bills. Can they recover during the bye week and salvage their season? Chris Clark and Ryan Tracy break down the Chiefs' offensive line crisis with multiple injuries at tackle, Patrick Mahomes' struggles under pressure, and the defensive line's inability to generate a pass rush against Josh Allen. The discussion covers critical trade deadline targets, with Jeffrey Simmons and defensive tackle help emerging as the top priority over running back additions like Breece Hall. Key analysis includes the team's upcoming gauntlet against AFC West rivals who've specifically built their rosters to stop Kansas City, the importance of getting Joshua Simmons and Jawaan Taylor healthy, and why the Chiefs must run the table to meet playoff expectations. Discover why pressure on both sides of the ball has become the defining issue for Kansas City's postseason hopes.
