Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs survived an epic battle with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to remain as the only undefeated team in the NFL. They are clear Super Bowl favorites with an 8-0 record.
However, it’s not going to be an easy road on their schedule with games looming against tough rivals such as the Buffalo Bills, the Houston Texans or the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Furthermore, injuries could be a big problem for the second half of the season. Patrick Mahomes will have to play through ankle pain and the wide receiver position just suffered another hit on the depth chart.
Who got injured with the Chiefs?
The Kansas City Chiefs confirmed that JuJu Smith-Schuster is officially out for the game against the Denver Broncos. As a consequence, Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins will carry the load.
So, in a massive problem for Reid and Mahomes, the offense has been absolutely decimated with wide receivers due to the absence of names like JuJu, Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice.
