Over the past two seasons, opposing defenses committed themselves to pumping the brakes on Kansas City’s once-upon-a-time-historic offense, forcing them to move the ball downfield on shorter, methodical throws. With the well-earned trust of his All-Pro quarterback and a 20.9 yards-per-catch average to boast, Tyquan Thornton planted the seeds for his breakthrough season in Week 2, escaping Philadelphia’s secondary downfield to set his path for a clutch, 49-yard touchdown. The Chiefs would fall 20-17 in the Super Bowl rematch, but Thornton starred nonetheless, showcasing his big-play ability through a two-catch, 59-yard, one-score effort against the Eagles on Sept. 14, 2025.
