Will Chiefs’ goal-to-go success continue in 2022?

While the Kansas City Chiefs had their offensive struggles last season, they still boasted one of the most successful offenses in the league. They ranked fourth in the league in points scored, improving from their sixth-place ranking in 2020. One of the reasons for that improvement was the team’s success in goal-to-go situations.

You can see that Mahomes, with his rating of 116.9 in late and close situations, is just astoundingly good.

As for where this goes next, I'd say the price will dictate that. Under current circumstances, unlikely KC or Buffalo go get him. If his price drops (both teams offered incentive-heavy deals), then ... maybe.

(Both KC and Buffalo talked directly to Hopkins, and liked him.)

🏈 More on @DeAndreHopkins 🏈

• The Chiefs and Bills were the only teams to have substantive trade talks with Arizona.

• KC made progress, but @OBJ's deal ($15M base) more or less blew that progress up.

This is what #Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins is looking for on his next team:

* QB that loves the game and brings everyone on board with him

* Great defense - "Defense wins championships. Gotta have a great D-Line"

* Stable management - Because he says he's been through 4 GMs in… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1662144483218145305
