The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off one of their worst losses of the season.
Facing the Philadelphia Eagles at home, the Chiefs had a 10-point lead in the second half.
They proceeded to not score a point in the second half and their wide receivers were a major part of the issue.
Outside of Travis Kelce, the Chiefs do not have a reliable pass catcher for Patrick Mahomes to throw to.
To make matters worse, the Chiefs will be without two skill players for Sunday’s game.
According to Field Yates, both Jerick McKinnon and Mecole Hardman have been ruled out.

While neither of these players is a major difference-maker, they do play a role.
Also, they are experienced and have built chemistry with Mahomes.
Not having either player on the field will most likely cause more problems for the Chiefs.
Failing to score in the second half has been a season-long issue for the Chiefs.
They are averaging the fewest second-half points per game in football.
Also, they have not scored a second-half touchdown since October 22.
Even though Mahomes is great, he can only do so much.
The Chiefs’ reign of dominance in the AFC could be in jeopardy this year.
The AFC is loaded and Kansas City has not played up to their potential.
For Sunday’s game, expect another big performance from Justin Watson.
The 27-year-old wide receiver had five catches on 11 targets last game.
With a lack of options on offense, the Chiefs must rely on the 2018 fifth-round pick for production.
