With a team like KC playing with no margin of error, how each facet of the teams plays affects the other. It could have helped the offense have to do less. Regardless of whether the offense should need that or not, those 3 all year would have had a long-term impact.
You can even say that with Smith in the game Gaines may not be in the same place he is when he gets hurt and it never happens. However, that's a rabbit hole I'm not going down.

I won't exclude the possibility but ultimately, I don't buy "one guy" on a defense being the catalyst to make Reid/Sutton smart or Smith to grow a pair of balls for the season.
