Chiefs News
The Latest
Elite on Third Down
The Chiefs’ offense has been elite on 3rd down this season.
In the last three weeks, the Chiefs are 32/48 on 3rd down, converting 67% of the time.
On Monday night, Mahomes was 11/13 for 126 yards, 3 TDs, and 10 first downs on 3rd downs.
They’ve also seemingly fixed their red zone struggles in the last two weeks. They have scored touchdowns on 11/13 red zone trips in their wins over the Raiders and Bucs.
The Chiefs are 8-0 and getting even better on offense as the season goes on despite the significant injuries they have suffered. If the Chiefs continue to succeed at high rates on 3rd down and in the red zone, they’ll be nearly impossible to beat.
