But I dont want KC to be one of those teams where the defense has to defend and score as well.

On the opposite side, the Texans are a mess in the interior and they have a left tackle who won't be 100% after missing the whole preseason. The Chiefs' front 7 is going to be a handful for a guy like Hoyer who was absolutely terrible against pressure.
Only thing I'm worried about is the Chiefs coming out flat like they did against Tennessee. The Chiefs have an excellent defense, running game, and solid enough QB play and went 9-7 last year beating 6 winning teams. The Texans have an excellent defense, average running game, and spotty QB play for a team that went 9-7 last year against 2 winning teams. Net/net, the Chiefs improved a ridiculous amount from last year while Texans are about even (without Arian Foster).
It won't be an easy game but I don't see why the Chiefs can't win this if they play their game.
