The Chiefs are using play action as well as anyone in the NFL

After facing offensive struggles last year, the Kansas City Chiefs revamped their rushing attack during the offseason by acquiring Kenneth Walker. This newly established ground game has completely transformed their passing attack, resulting in elite efficiency on play-action throws through three games compared to their league-worst numbers across the entire previous season.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has recorded thirty-six play-action dropbacks this year, producing a seventy-one percent completion rate, three hundred forty-eight yards, three touchdowns, one interception, and eleven completions exceeding twenty yards.

Film reviews indicate that bootlegs have allowed Mahomes to utilize his mobility effectively while staying protected in the backfield. Pass catchers like Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce have capitalized on condensed formations, finding soft spots in zone coverage and utilizing crossers or deep routes.

Mahomes has shown exceptional precision and touch on downfield throws, routinely hitting his targets in stride.
