What happened: James Palmer and Steve Smith Sr. evaluated Kansas City's passing game against Super Bowl expectations. The question raised was whether current firepower suffices or a trade becomes necessary.

What to watch: Upcoming games will show whether the passing game stabilizes before the deadline passes.
