Former Chiefs All-Pro tackle Mitch Schwartz joins This Is Football to break down what actually went wrong for Kansas City and what comes next. From the evolution (and stagnation) of Andy Reid’s offense, to why Mahomes can’t fix everything on his own, to the importance of schematic advantages in the modern NFL, this is a masterclass in how football really works. Schwartz explains why under-center offenses are back, how teams like the Rams and 49ers are creating run-game advantages with motion, and why winning on third-and-long is the real separator for contenders.  Plus: Why elite defensive linemen could still play into their 40s The best offensive line in football right now Who deserves “Protector of the Year” How Tyrann Mathieu changed the Chiefs’ culture The funniest trash talk Mitch ever heard on an NFL field What it’s actually like being a Jewish NFL player during Christmas week Learn more about your ad choices.
