The Kansas City Chiefs are still undefeated after four weeks.
However, as good as that sounds, they’re not playing particularly well right now, at least on offense.
Expectations are always high for Patrick Mahomes, who’s been deemed the best quarterback in the game by most, and his numbers haven’t been eye-popping so far this season.
Notably, he hasn’t looked as sharp or efficient either, and while there are plenty of reasons why that might be the case, the fact of the matter is that he isn’t playing well.
At least, that’s how NFL analyst Greg Cosell feels.
Talking on the Ross Tucker Podcast, Cosell stated that the tape shows that Mahomes isn’t comfortable in the offense right now.

He thinks there’s no rhythm to how he’s playing, and while it may have something to do with a lack of confidence in his receivers, he’s just not executing the way he used to.
Granted, blind-side protection continues to be a major issue for Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Once again, that’s been the Achilles heel of an almost-perfect team.
Moreover, while the Chiefs have been able to overcome slow starts and a lack of talent at wide receiver, it’s not much of a coincidence to see that their numbers and offensive play took a big dip when Matt Nagy replaced Eric Bienemy.
The Chiefs are still winning and still have a championship-caliber defense, and it’s never wise to count out a player like Patrick Mahomes.
Still, right now, he’s not the player we’re used to watching.
