The play is designed for Jalen Royals and Xavier Worthy to win on whip routes. Royals and Worthy can't win against man coverage at all and had zero chance of getting open.

Negative signalRole

Royals can't win against man coverage; source questions why Chiefs design plays for him.

The source criticizes the play design on third-and-2, noting that Royals and Xavier Worthy were designed to win on whip routes but 'can't win against man coverage at all and had zero chance of getting open.' The source questions why the Chiefs are designing plays for Royals or Worthy at all, suggesting it would make more sense to have one of these receivers run a clearout route instead and let Travis Kelce or Rashee Rice have the underneath route.
