With the Kansas City Chiefs dealing with injury and a suspension in their wide receivers room, the team has seen Tyquan Thornton step up.
In fact, entering the Week 6 game against the Detroit Lions, Thornton was the team's leader in receiving yards with 272, and he has found pay dirt three times.
So, it's surprising to see how quiet Thornton has been in the first half against the Lions on Sunday night.
Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is Tyquan Thornton playing tonight?
UPDATE: With about two minutes left in the game, still a blank spot for Thornton.
It looks like we won't see anything from Thornton on Sunday night.
END OF UPDATE
UPDATE: Third drive of the second half and it was a beauty for the Chiefs.
However, Thornton STILL hasn't been targeted. A truly baffling situation is unfolding on Sunday night.
END OF UPDATE
UPDATE: Two drives in the second half and still nothing for Thornton.
Mahomes has thrown for 210 yards thus far, but none of them have gone to Thornton.
END OF UPDATE
UPDATE: We're through one offensive series in the second half and still nothing from Thornton.
Kansas City's offense looks good on Sunday night, Thornton just hasn't been involved, which is just perplexing.
END OF UPDATE
Yes, Thornton is active and in the lineup, he just wasn't targeted in the first half.
Meanwhile, Mahomes has connected with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Hollywood Brown, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, Noah Gray and Isiah Pacheco.
There really is no rhyme or reason for Thornton's quiet first half, it just might be one of those games for him.
We'll see if Thornton will get going in the final two quarters.
