Episode notes

- The Chiefs have multiple real problems after two weeks: an ineffective run game, protection concerns, and Travis Kelce being off.

- Consider trading for a proven running back if you are the Chiefs because their current room lacks explosiveness and vision.
- Bite the bullet on draft capital if it fixes the offense's biggest immediate weakness.
