It doesn't need to be.
If the issues with the horrific offense we fielded in which we couldn't reach 20 points in over half of the contests are resolved, then it won't be on the defense to win these games, and to keep us in the game as we shit our pants series after series.
The offense couldn't answer the bell when asked to score three touchdowns, more often than not. That's unheard of for an offense quarterbacked by a fully healthy Patrick Mahomes.
3 touchdowns is normally a good first half when things are working. When we see the offense return to form with competent skill position players, the defense is only going to need to get a few stops per game and it's lights out. There will be some drop-off, there will be some scores surrendered, but it won't matter because the offense will be competent again.
We needed that top flight defense with the abortion of a wide receiver corps we fielded. That will not be our offense next season.
