Kansas City Chiefs seem to be going through a tough phase as they struggle with their offensive play. With no solid receivers in the circle, the offensive line is becoming more challenging to open up the roads for the running backs. Amidst the whole fiasco, the pressure relies extensively on the quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Considering a lack of offensive weapons to carry out the win and Mahomes’ sheer optimism for a potential comeback, Antonio Brown makes an unconventional claim that the Chiefs should beg him to join the team.

It can’t be denied that the team does not have an option for the receivers, as the trade deadline was two months back and there’s a very minute possibility that they’d find a good receiver at this point of the season.

After the humiliating loss against the Las Vegas Raiders in week 16, the Chiefs have fallen onto a 9-6 season standing as their offensive largely suffered against the solid defense of the Raiders. Given that, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout went to his X (formerly Twitter) account and tweeted,

The prominent receiver believes it’s only him who can save the Chiefs from falling apart at this point of the season, but for that, the franchise would need to beg him to sign with them.

How Chiefs’ lack of reliable receivers cost them the season?

Entering the season with young receiving groups, there seemed bright hope for the reigning Super Bowl champions this season, as many hoped any of their rookie receivers would emerge as phenomenal talent. However, that didn’t happen and as a result, the Chiefs are struggling to clinch a postseason spot, with 9-6 standing.

And now, the Chiefs are at that point where they can’t rectify their mistake as they don’t have options to do so. The only backing that the quarterback Mahomes has, is the Chiefs’ star tight end, Travis Kelce. For the matches that the Chiefs won, the Mahomes-Kelce duo has been incredible.

In the receiving group, the only receiver who has performed a little better is rookie Rashee Rice, who had scored just 754 yards and seven touchdowns. Meanwhile, Kelce, who has been filling the gaps for a good receiver, leads his team with 924 yards and five touchdowns.
