The Kansas City Chiefs are facing an uncommon rough patch, having dropped two games in a row, most recently a 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos last Sunday, according to Yahoo Sports.

Amid the skid, attention within the organization has turned to rookie running back Emmett Johnson, who has been singled out as the team looks to adjust its approach on offense, Yahoo Sports reports.

The back-to-back losses mark a notable stumble for a franchise accustomed to deep playoff runs, putting pressure on coaches and players alike to find solutions before the slide continues.
