**ESPN’s Pat McAfee On The Chiefs’ Struggles: “It’s Fixable… They’ll Figure It Out”**
*~300 words*
ESPN personality Pat McAfee has weighed in on the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent struggles, offering a calm, confident perspective at a time when many fans are sounding alarms. Speaking on *The Pat McAfee Show*, the former NFL punter made it clear that while the Chiefs have looked unusually shaky, he believes the issues are far from permanent.
“I think it’s fixable strictly because of the personnel that they have in charge — Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes,” McAfee said, emphasizing that the foundation of the franchise is still among the strongest in the NFL. According to him, the Chiefs’ recent offensive inconsistencies, questionable execution, and lapses in rhythm are problems that elite leadership can solve.
McAfee pointed out that few teams in the league boast a head coach–quarterback combination as proven and adaptable as Reid and Mahomes. “I think they have time. I think they will figure it out. I think it is fixable,” he reiterated, pushing back against the growing narrative that Kansas City’s dynasty window may be closing.
The Chiefs’ recent offensive setbacks — from miscommunications to red-zone inefficiency — have fueled national debate. But McAfee noted that adversity isn’t new for Kansas City. Even in years they’ve reached the Super Bowl, the team has endured midseason slumps before erupting when it mattered most. The key difference, he argued, is that the team must clean up self-inflicted mistakes and regain trust in its receiving corps.
He also highlighted the defense as a stabilizing force, suggesting that as long as the offense improves even marginally, Kansas City will remain a contender.
In the end, McAfee urged fans not to overreact. For him, the combination of Reid’s strategic brilliance and Mahomes’ generational talent is too powerful to count out. The Chiefs may be wobbling — but in McAfee’s view, they are far from broken.
