## Resource

Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive line questions spark concerns about Patrick Mahomes’ protection as preseason wraps up. With injuries and unsettled starters at key positions like right tackle, can Mahomes stay upright against the Denver Broncos’ formidable pass rush? Hosts scrutinize Jaylon Moore and Khalil Benson’s readiness, highlighting Andy Reid and Andy Heck’s decision-making and how it could shape the Chiefs’ Week 1 game plan. The discussion tackles whether Kansas City will rely on a revamped run game featuring new power backs like Kenneth Walker to reduce pressure on Mahomes, or stick to the familiar pass-heavy formula. Timing issues with receivers like Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, Mahomes’ pocket presence, and the importance of a strong start in a stacked AFC West all come into focus. Will Andy Reid shift his strategy to safeguard his MVP quarterback, or will the Chiefs’ offense struggle out of the gate?
