From the episode

Tyquan Thornton played such a bigger role in this offense, just being able to stretch the defense out and make these plays and adjustments down the field with a rapport that Moe's has.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Thornton's vertical presence and rapport with Mahomes critical to Chiefs offense identity.

Trey Tucker identifies Tyquan Thornton as playing a much bigger role in the Chiefs offense than previously recognized, with the ability to stretch the defense and make plays downfield with rapport with Patrick Mahomes. Thornton's absence is a major problem for the Chiefs offense, which now feels "in quicksand" without his vertical presence and ability to open up the offense.
