Alex Smith hit wide receiver Dwayne Bowe for a 22-yard touchdown in the first quarter of a 45-10 win over the Redskins on Dec. 8, 2013.

385 days and 19 games later, we're still waiting to put "Chiefs wide receiver" and "touchdown" in the same sentence.

Bowe nearly did it in the second quarter of Kansas City's 19-7 win over San Diego on Sunday, but his apparent score was ruled a fumble before crossing the goal line. The Chiefs, eliminated from playoff contention after a Ravens win, officially finished an entire season without a WR catching a touchdown pass.

To put the drought into perspective, only three teams have gone through a season without a wide receiver catching a touchdown, and all of them played in a bygone era. The last team to do it was the Giants in 1964, when the Bears had the NFL's best passing offense at just over 200 yards per game.

"That would be really devastating," Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice told Sporting News a couple weeks ago, speaking of Kansas City's receiver-ignorant offense. "I would be one mad guy (laughs). If It were me, I would have been hard to deal with. I'm surprised, with that lack of productivity, they're still winning football games."

A lack of wide receiver production (although not a total lack) is pretty much par for coach Andy Reid's course. You can probably think of one, maybe two receivers who have put up big numbers under Reid, who coached in Philadelphia for 14 years before taking over in Kansas City in 2013.

Terrell Owens posted 1,200 receiving yards in 2004, the most for any player on a Reid-coached team. With a couple DeSean Jackson 1,000-yard seasons being outliers, 874 yards is the average high mark for a wideout in a given season under Reid.

But Reid's apparent WR ignorance has never been this extreme — Smith appears OK with it, too.

Tight ends Travis Kelce and Anthony Fasano, running backs Jamaal Charles, Knile Davis and Joe McKnight and even fullback Anthony Sherman have posted at least one TD in the receiving column of Kansas City's box scores this year.

The Chiefs ranked 28th in passing yards per game (202.8) heading into Week 17, and the offense as a whole ranked 22nd (323.3).

You may think the Chiefs have no choice but to draft a receiver high in the 2015 draft, but SN scouting contributor Eric Galko believes their defense (albeit ranked seventh with 328.5 yards per game allowed) must be addressed first.
