They're not going to send the house anyway. They're going to put both of their passrushers on an island against Wylie/Brown, and they're going to drop 7, and leave one player to spy.
They're not going to come for Mahomes, they're going to bet their DEs are better than our tackles (they are), and they're going to smother Kelce and force other WRs to get open for Mahomes.
That was a killer strategy last year, when they could throw the farm at Kelce and Hill and just bet Pringle/Hardman/Robinson couldn't get open.
This year, that's a riskier proposition, but, I mean, it's the only shot they have to gum up Mahomes.
