The Kansas City Chiefs aim for a drastic improvement in the passing game after finishing 14th in passing offense in 2024. Patrick Mahomes arguably had his worst statistical season as a quarterback, and excluding his rookie year, had a career-low in passing yards, yards per attempt, and passing touchdowns, along with the second-lowest passer rating and the second-lowest QBR. He finished the year with 3,928 passing yards, 6.8 yards per attempt, 26 touchdowns, a 67.6 QBR, and a 93.5 passer rating.
A reason for his struggles could be associated with injuries to the wide receiver position.

The Chiefs re-signed him to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million, hoping to return to his 2021 form.
Kansas City Chiefs weapon’s goal for 2025
During Tuesday’s press conference, via Adam Teicher of ESPN, Hollywood Brown was asked about his goals for the 2025 season. He hopes to stay healthy after missing 22 games due to injuries in the last three seasons. Brown added that he wanted to prove his worth as a reliable receiver and offensive weapon for Patrick Mahomes.
“Healthy season,” Brown said as the Kansas City Chiefs began their mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, via Teicher. “It’s my number one goal. Just being able to really showcase what I can do. That’s all I’m looking to do.”
Patrick Mahomes is excited to throw to him in 2025
“You all saw it in training camp, how special of a football player he is,” Mahomes said. “He did everything the right way, was in the building early, was in the building late, was teaching other guys. For him to get injured in kind of a freak deal there in the first play of the preseason, it stunk. I was happy to have him back at the end of the season and him to get back within the offense.
“Now with hopefully him having the full offseason and training camp and staying healthy and continuing to fight through, his role will expand even more. It’s kind of hard to throw guys in at the end of the season and try to give them a huge role. I think you can see when he gets the football in his hands and he has a huge role in our offense, it makes everybody go.”
