Counterpoints (and I have been a Chiefs skeptic all season):
--> Josh Allen was pushed off his game, it is much harder to do to Mahomes (although notably that's what happened last AFCCG)
--> the roster was half-sick last time they played; if you watch Nick Bolton, he did not look like Nick Bolton
--> the Chiefs tackled horrifically in the game; they have tackled very well since
Spags dropped the defense a ton and banked on them to rally up on checkdowns. They sucked at that. Otherwise, Spags had them in position all game.
I suspect they'd be better if they were able to.
Keep in mind: Chiefs had this game in hand up until Kelce fumbled.
