Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Notices 1 Key Thing About Offensive Weapons

The Kansas City Chiefs' offense in 2025 is going to look a little different if you believe the words of coordinator Matt Nagy and quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

With Nagy stating that the Chiefs want to get the ball down the field more, given the unit's struggles to produce big, explosive plays in the passing game last season, a staple of Patrick's early years.

But now, with the Chiefs adding Xavier Worthy last offseason, getting Marquise "Hollywood" Brown back, so too Rashee Rice and rookie Jalen Royals, the weapons are there for Patrick to dial up the launch codes.

As the offseason workouts continue, one thing has stood out for Mahomes when looking at his weapons.

"We're fast," Mahomes said. "We have guys that can roll. Our job is to test the defenses down the field and we have to get back to doing that if we want to open up other guys underneath. 

"Coach Reid has challenged me this offseason to push the ball down the field, let guys have chances to make plays and then once we get that back to where we want to be in our standard that we believe we should have, then we can come back to the underneath stuff."

We heard of the Chiefs' want to push the ball down the field last offseason, but they failed to eventuate. 

Now the offense is back at it, and it does seem like that will be the major thing worked on this offseason. They have the weapons to get downfield, and a quarterback who can make the throws; now it's a matter of doing it.

Then, as Mahomes states, it can open up opportunities underneath for Travis Kelce or Noah Gray, and now, defenses don't know whether to back off or not.

The offseason is for tinkering with game styles, and it is clear that the Chiefs, after a disappointing Super Bowl loss, want to regain their explosiveness.

And with "fast" weapons, that seems more than doable.
