KC Chiefs win Buffalo overlooked injury price

Kansas City Chiefs put in a strong performance against the Bills, but an injury to Joe Thuney could be a problem.

The Kansas City Chiefs had a strong performance against the Buffalo Bills, but there was a major problem buried in the celebration. Head coach Andy Reid noted that offensive lineman Joe Thuney had suffered a pectoral injury during the game. Thuney was designated as questionable to return to Sunday's contest, so his potential loss could come at an awful time.

Thuney is very good at his job and an All-Pro. His loss could be felt even more sharply against Baltimore. The Ravens have an impressive defense and led the league with 60 sacks during the regular season. If Thuney is unable to play, it could create a domino effect and create a gap somewhere else in the offensive line.

The offensive line also plays a crucial role in the running game. Even though Kansas City is known as a pass-first team, they have a legitimate option on the ground. Thuney's injury could be little more than a scare, but it's possible that he'll be unable to play with a more serious problem. With no margin for error at this point in the season, everyone affiliated with the Chiefs will be waiting with bated breath for the next injury update.
