No Smith-Schuster and no Trent Brown. Another challenging day at tackle for a team that did a pretty good job getting after Josh Allen last week, which required a couple of miracle plays on his part to come up with the win.

Going to learn a lot about Bailey Zappe today...looking forward to seeing how it plays out.

By my count this will be the 4th game Brown has missed so far this season. This is why they cannot count on him next year as their LT1, if they even resign him at all. The OT free agent market this offseason is lousy, even worse than it was this past offseason.

Whomever is making the decisions this offseason needs to recognize LT1 as a desperate need and do whatever it takes to address that AFTER addressing next year‘s QB1.

I agree - can't go back to that well again. Although, they're in a situation where they'll need to address it via both free agency and also through the draft to try and start building up quality depth to go along with who they already have.

A lot of Chiefs fans seem to have caught on to the low prices on the secondary market and seemingly made the trip for this one:
