Matt Nagy gave three bullet points for Chiefs' offense sustaining its success throughout remainder of the season
The Kansas City Chiefs have been on fire offensively over the past several weeks, but that doesn't mean it's bulletproof.When Kansas City's offense is clicking, it may be the best in the NFL. It is averaging 32 points per game over the past four weeks, and also leads the league in total yards during that span.However, as we saw in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, sometimes the Chiefs' offense is its own worst enemy. If complacency sets in, crucial mistakes get made, and the margin for error is small in the NFL. While speaking to the media on Friday, offensive coordinator Matt Nagy gave three bullet points for K.C.'s offense sustaining its success throughout the remainder of the season. Keep the execution at a high "Keep the execution at a high, which it is right now," Nagy said. "The execution by these players has been great."The biggest part of this is the mental side of things, such as limiting penalties, playing in sync, and getting the most out of every play. The Chiefs' offense has accomplished all of those goals over the past two games, but no much when it played Jacksonville, which led to a loss. It also struggled with those things during the team's 0-2 start. Protect the football "Protect the football," Nagy continued. "That's been a key element. Making sure that, with our defense, if we protect the football and score touchdowns, we're always going to be in good shape."Taking care of the ball is a timeless necessity to winning in the NFL. A pick-six thrown by quarterback Patrick Mahomes was a huge factor in K.C. losing to the Jaguars, as was a ball that bounced off the hands of tight end Travis Kelce that resulted in an interception. Never get relaxed with the details "Never get relaxed with the details," Nagy concluded. "This is a detailed offense. Just when you think you're doing everything the right way, all of a sudden, one little detail can hurt you. I think our coaching staff, coach (Andy) Reid, the players, they're professionals."Reid and Nagy have a large and complex offensive playbook, so players have to stay with the details. Fortunately, the Chiefs have a lot of veterans on their offense who have been in the system for multiple years.
