so basically the Chiefs are holding their opponents two scores below their usual offensive output. I don't doubt that the Chargers can put up points against KC (especially with Rivers' long ball accuracy), but I fully expect them to cap out around 20-25. Chiefs are averaging 25.5, but as we know a good chunk of that has come from defense and special teams scores. Overall that seems to net out in favor of the Chiefs, especially if they can rattle Rivers early and watch him implode.
Point is, Chiefs have made a habit of cutting most offenses off well below their scoring average.

The bold part is a bit confusing... but, if the basis is simply "KC's defense needs to play lights out because KC's offense sputters", then I get it.
