The Kansas City Chiefs need some help, and luckily, it could be on the way against the Las Vegas Raiders, which would be just in time to fix some of the issues we have seen toward the end of the season.
This offense has struggled the last five games or so. They get stagnant and don’t beat their opponents by nearly as much as they should, like the Rams, Broncos, twice, Seahawks, and the Texans.
All of those games were way closer than they should have been largely due to the offense. Now this weekend, it seems Patrick Mahomes could be very happy with what he may see on the field against the Raiders. As of Wednesday, the Chiefs have activated Mecole Hardman from the injured reserve list.
This is huge for the Chiefs and their offense. When Hardman was last in for Kansas City, as his last game was against the Tennessee Titans, he was lethal and a vital part of this offense.
Hardman scored three touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers, which is widely considered the best defense in the league.

The Chiefs hung 44 on them that day, and the offense was as good as we have seen. Adding the speed factor that Hardman has, as he is the fastest guy on the Chiefs, will bring another layer of this offense that we haven’t seen in a while. I’m sure this will make Mahomes happy, too.
