00:00The Chiefs saw some unusual struggles in their week two game against the Los
00:04Angeles Chargers. They pulled out a 23 to 20 overtime victory over their
00:08divisional rival but the offense struggled to get things going. That's the
00:13topic of today's Roughing the Kicker podcast on arrowheadreport.com. Sam Hayes
00:18joins me to talk about the offense's struggles and how they fixed them in the
00:22second half. You can find that full show at smarturl.it backslash roughing. One
00:27of the topics we talk about is the offensive line. They kind of struggled in
00:31their game, allowed a lot of pressures on Patrick Mahomes but Mahomes only took
00:34one sack. They went against a very top-tier pass rush which I think is
00:39probably part of the problem and Mahomes didn't help as well. Sometimes he
00:43drifted really far back out of the pocket making the tackles job to keep
00:47Ingram and Bosa at bay made it a little bit harder because a lot of times
00:52as an offensive lineman in the tackle position you use those guys momentum to
00:55take them out of the play and with Mahomes backing up it was almost like he
00:59was going right into them. A little frustrating there. Another frustrating
01:03aspect of it was the wide receivers drops. We saw some drops from Hill,
01:08Robinson, even Hardman had a drop and I believe Travis Kelsey did as well. The
01:13Chiefs were able to right the ship though and able to score some points in
01:16the second half and they'll have to be able to get out to a quicker start
01:20against the Ravens on Monday Night Football. The whole world will be
01:23watching and we're gonna keep talking about this Ravens matchup as the week
01:27goes on. You can listen to the full episode of Roughing the Kicker with Sam
