Chiefs got schooled by every team that had a QB that was wortha shit. Thats a fact.

They seemed to pass the eye test when analysts and fans were talking about a transformation to a dominant unit midseason. They held teams to 9 pts in three straight games, including Prescott and Carr. The points allowed total over the second half was elite, even with the debacles vs Buffalo and at Cincinnati.
I’m not disagreeing that there were issues. Sorenson, Nieman and Hughes were horrible, Mathieu had a down year, etc. Some awful blown coverages at times.
But I was talking specifically about the pass rush. You’re not top 5ish in all those categories if you have no pass rush. And the numbers were probably even much better than that after they made adjustments midseason. They just didn’t get a ton of sacks.
