Before the start of 2022 NFL season, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs had many wondering if they were going to be as explosive this year without Tyreek Hill. Sunday's contest against the Arizona Cardinals indicated that the team might be even more explosive without him.

Speaking on Sunday Night Football Final, NFL analyst Chris Simms endorsed the team, explaining how they may have gotten better without Hill:

"I think Tyreek Hill is awesome. But I do think that the Chiefs became a little too obsessed with ‘Let's just get Tyreek and Kelce the ball,’ and that became a little predictable."

He continued, claiming the Chiefs are now as unpredictable as ever:

"'[When] Tyreek [is] here, they like to run this play. And when Tyreek is there, they like to run that play.' You don't know where it's coming from right now with Juju Smith-Schuster, Kelce, Skyy Moore, Marquez Valdez-Scantling and a bunch of other guys that Andy Reid has had the eye for as far as scouting his football team that, maybe, are not household names yet."

Lastly, he said he was a "believer":

"Mecole Hardman, the running, the offensive line [which] I think is one of the best pass protecting o-lines of football. I really think the Kansas City offense will be as good as we've seen it throughout the whole year. I'm a believer in Mahomes and Andy Reid."
