Chefs vs top 10 Defenses

They equal Watt and Clowney with Ford and Houston, plus they have Chris Jones, the best d lineman not named Aaron Donald in the league this year.

It’s their linebackers and secondary that struggle. The pass rush is very very good.

Jones would be the Watt equivalent, Houston and Ford are more similar to Clowney and Mercilus. And you made my point for me. Like the Texans, all the Chiefs defense has going for them is their pass rush, and we saw what happened to the Texans.

This is also the Chiefs biggest test. They have not played an offensive line like ours (cause nobody has one). I'm thinking that the bandwagon for this defense has left and we are just waving at it. This defense is good. We just cannot believe it because every one of us thought it would be crap. Our corners are playing great but nobody can believe it because at the beginning of the year we all thought they sucked. I personally viewed Walker as a lousy lber but the guy is ballin'. My real worry is our youth, sometimes it doesn't travel well. Even then I think we are playing in 2 weeks. They don't scare me and I gave up smokin crack years ago. Believe man, believe.

We play zone 80 percent of the time.

Mahomes has faced 5 teams this season who play majority zone. He’s completed 64 percent of his passes, 8 yards per attempt, with 14 touchdowns and no interceptions.

I hope Eberflus has a surprise or two up his sleeve because Mahomes will murder our zone.

I get it. You may be correct. Actually probably are. I just think there may be a different narrative and that is that this group of guys have somehow jelled as a team and are damn good. I’m going to believe that. They do

Mahomes has yet to play a playoff game. A whole new ballgame and a different kind of pressure.
