The Chiefs have been all over the news for around 10 days now after winning the Super Bowl in Arizona. Although that doesn’t mean Kansas City’s front office is taking a break. There is one situation that Andy Reid will want to have figured out as soon as possible in Orlando Brown Jr.’s contract extension.

The message that the left tackle made sure everyone listened was about the performance of the offensive line against the Philadelphia Eagles. “0sacks. Put iton a f… T-shirt!”, he posted on Twitter after their win praising the great protection Patrick Mahomes had in front of a complete defense.

This will be the main topic of the offseason for the defending champions. The 2020 season ended for the Chiefs with a loss to the Buccaneers in the Super Bowl that had Mahomes running for his life on every snap behind poor O-line play. They revamped that area immediately, but now Orlando Brown Jr. could become a free agent in March.
