Chicago Bears fans think they have the key to the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive woes this season. The Chiefs offense is having an underwhelming year by their standards.
The Chiefs are 14th in points per game (22.5) this season. That’s a dramatic fall from last season when they scored the most points per game (29.2) on their way to winning the Super Bowl.
Many NFL fans are blaming the Chiefs wide receivers. Drops cost the Chiefs their season opener against the Detroit Lions. Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s drop in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s game cost the Chiefs a win against the Philadelphia Eagles.
But another change happened this offseason that could account for the Chiefs’ poor offensive play.
Matt Nagy.
The Chiefs promoted Nagy back to offensive coordinator when Eric Bieniemy left for the Washington Commanders’ offensive coordinator gig. The Commanders’ PPG is lower than the Chiefs, but Bieniemy has quarterback Sam Howell leading the NFL in passing yards on an offense that isn’t loaded with talent.
Chicago Bears fans think Nagy is the Chiefs’ problem
Bears fans weighed in on social media following the Chiefs’ loss to the Eagles on Monday night. (The Chiefs scored 17 points total in the loss.) Here are the best takes on X of fans saying the Chiefs’ offensive problems start with Nagy.
(Please let there be a Taylor Swift song about this…)
The Chiefs have to replace Matt Nagy, he did the same thing with the Bears and their offense was garbage. The Chiefs definitely miss Eric Bieniemy.

#IDontWantToOverreactBUT it’s Matt Nagy. Bears started good and went bad. Could be the same with KC.

Is anyone surprised? Matt Nagy is the offensive coordinator. You’re finally seeing what Mahomes would’ve looked like if the Bears took him
