Chiefs How about the defense?

Everyone is talking about the QB and coach for obvious reasons... but how about the defense?

I know Jennings was out, but still... we just played an offense that was playing at a 2007 Patriots level, scored 40+ points on every other team in the division. Our defense completely shut them down, terrorized their line and shut down Rodgers.

Rodgers finished 17/35 for 235 and 1 TD. By far his worst performance of the season. Season lows in completions, passing yards, yds/attempt, and TDs. Only the 2nd time this season he's been held under 250, only the 2nd time he's been held under 8 yds/attempt. First game this season Rodgers did not throw 2 TDs, which is unbelievable. First time this year he had a QB rating under 95 in a game.

Probably as good as a defensive performance by any team this year. Just goes to show how rushing passer is probably almost as important as having a QB.
