Chiefs Plan Major Offensive Deep-Pass Shift in 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs are planning to reinvigorate their offense for the 2025-26 NFL season by incorporating more deep passes, a strategy highlighted by new receiver Xavier Worthy. Worthy, known for his elite speed and rookie season performance including key Super Bowl plays, revealed that head coach Andy Reid advised the team to prepare for increased deep routes during offseason training. This shift aims to restore the explosiveness the Chiefs lost after trading Tyreek Hill and a subsequent decline in deep passing by quarterback Patrick Mahomes. With key players like Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown returning from injury, the Chiefs expect a stronger and more dynamic receiving corps. Worthy also hinted at potentially contributing as a punt returner, adding another layer to his impact on the team. Overall, the Chiefs are looking to revive their air attack to spark more big plays and improve their offensive production.
