'Sluggish' Kansas City Chiefs defeat New Orleans Saints in Week 5 | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

[jdaddyrizzo]

Btw, Kareem Hunt, Jody Fortson, Juju Smith-Schuster, and Mecole Hardman all have left the Chiefs and came back and are making an impact.

The Chiefs defense doesnt look sluggish

[mjamitche]

Chris Jones doesn't take a while to get going. He gets double and triple teamed. It's like you guys aren't watching. He's working hard all game.

[rustusandroid]

I think Patty Mahommes is the only quarterback you can call 330 yards passing 'sluggish'...

[theblinkerx]

This dude Mahomes is simply the greatest of all time. Literally doesnt matter whos on the field. Weve seen him win superbowls with a all time offense, a defensive lead team, & with the youngest receiving corp in football. Now with 3 offensive starters on IR they are undefeated and are clearly the best team in the NFL.

Sluggish? Florio has zero credibility. What a 🤡. The Chiefs dominated that game.

[dawnparris]

Sluggish lacking energy or alertness-what game were you both watching. They demonstrated great tenacity and perseverance and great passion.

[holahovito]

I'm a saints fan and the chiefs didn't need to get out of 2nd gear. Easy win for them.

The theme for the Chiefs this year is “Eras Tour”

-35 year old Kelce
-Kareem Hunt redemption arch
-Juju unlikely hero
-Jody Fortson reunion
-Steele & Worthy as rookies

[FunAmbassador]

QB passes for over 300 yds, a 100 yd rusher, and a 100 yd receiver. If it was any other team they would be saying how explosive that team was.

[tonidh]

Sluggish? No. Felt like we controlled everything. Best we played all around overall this season....so far

[Soundhypno]

They let JuJu go because they wanted to protect their salary cap not that they didnt like him. Chiefs know how to put most players in a position to be successful and they have a strong team culture!

[Kevin_]

Getting ready for a repeat of the 1970 Super Bowl with the same outcome.

[ejsimms]

Florio's upset because he wants no competition for his 5-0 Vikings. 😊

[reglavcor]

The happiest guy, was the guy sitting behind Xavier Worthy's mom. Her skirt was mighty short!

[dionysus]

Sluggish ? The Chief's were living in the red zone the whole game. They looked dominant and are getting better every game. This is the only channel on the Internet that reported the Chief's were "sluggish" Maybe you should watch the game again.

[petes]

Chiefs easily could have scored 40 last night against a pretty good Saints defense. The Saints have the best Red Zone defense in the league.

[gokrtkd]

God Florio, don’t let your Anti-Chiefs bias show too strongly 😂

[jeremyjs]

Kelce did a ton of work outside spotlight too. He was everywhere

[deadme]

KC definitely made mistakes. Penalties in the red zone that nullified a TD and caused the Chiefs to rely on FGs. Juju’s dropped ball that not only ruined a sure TD, but ended up being an interception. There’s still room to improve. The Chiefs could drive the field all night, but couldn’t close out in the red zone
