Breaking News: The Chiefs’ offensive line depth is handling the season’s first test…see more

Since a lack of offensive line depth is one of the reasons the Kansas city chiefs were unable to close last season with a Super Bowl “three-peat,” the team made reinforcing the trenches a major offseason priority.

After turning in a disappointing 0-2 start, Kansas City has now won four of its past five games with offense that now seems capable of scoring at will.

Before Thursday’s practice, head coach Andy Reid noted the importance of the offensive line’s play in a unit that has scored at 30 points in three of its last four outings.

“I think every coach would say that if the line is doing good,” he said, “you’re willing to call certain things — or not call certain things.”

Lining up against top pass rushers, Moore has played well in the last two weeks. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has noticed.

“He’s been ready,” said the two-time MVP. “[Moore] comes to work every single day. [He’s] a true pro. He comes to work with the mentality of being ready for that next snap.

He’s done it all throughout training camp — and now he’s done it in the regular season. That’s the reason that he’s here.”
