Concerns about their struggling run game are gaining significant attention as the Kansas City Chiefs secured another narrow victory.
This has even prompted comments from quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ aunt, Tinesha Mahomes, who did not hold back from commenting on the three-time Super Bowl champion’s ground game.
Despite standing with the league-best 12-1 record, many of their victories have been by close call by head coach Andy Reid.
During the Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
the Chiefs were dominating the field in the first half with a 13-point lead.
but their efficiency somehow lost in the second half.
and they kicked merely two field goals in 30 minutes.
The Chiefs’ struggles with their run game have gathered significant attention on social media.
Tinesha appeared to particularly blame the head coach for the team’s inability to run the ball.
Stating the obvious, she posted a four-word message for Reid, suggesting that the run game be restarted.
Run the freaking ball.
Tinesha Mahomes wrote on X.

Reid’s coaching decisions have come under scrutiny as he could not call consecutive running plays after the opening drive.
despite having running back Isiah Pacheco available.
The team heavily relied on the three-time Super Bowl MVP while their offensive line struggled before the Chargers’ defense.
The defense pressured Mahomes multiple times in the game, sacking him three times and putting him under duress on several occasions.
The team managed to run the ball only five more times in the final quarter of the game.
Patrick Mahomes unfazed by getting sacked thrice in narrow win over Chargers.
The Chiefs’ offensive line failed to protect the three-time Super Bowl champion against the Chargers’ defense, even though D.J. Humphries was named the starting left tackle to protect Mahomes’ blind side.
This totaled his sacks count to 35–the worst of his career.
However, when the signal-caller was asked about it post-game, he claimed not being too bothered about the sacks.
I mean, it’s a part of football, you just play the game.
We’ve played a lot of good defenses this year.
That’s the one bad thing about when you win the Super Bowl, you play the best schedule.
and we’ve played a lot of good defensive ends and defensive linemen.
Patrick Mahomes said on Sunday
After his team clinched the playoff berth and the ninth consecutive AFC West divisional title.
the elite quarterback reflected on the areas he needed to improve while aiming for the historic three-peat.
He acknowledged his need to be better with pocket presence which would ultimately help him run the ball more.
