Never mind the fact they are facing the 2nd best interior pass rusher in the NFL, one like they don't and haven't faced, to go along with solid outside rushers. That dynamic should be interesting since their IOL is even worse than their tackles, especially where Jones will line up over Hopkins and Adeniji.
Burrow will have to get the ball out extremely fast and he has long-stride WRs going against press-man corners. That's not an easy task. We'll see, but I like KC's matchup if the pressure is getting home like expected. If the pressure isn't getting there, then I think our DBs might struggle to cover those receivers long.
As for their defense... they have 3 good players in Hendrickson, Wilson, and Bates. Wilson might not play. The rest of that defense is very mediocre and don't match up well with KC's speed. They can't cover Kelce and they won't be able to cover Hill. So long as KC helps out Brown with Hendrickson, there shouldn't be much to slow down KC's offense. Avoid throwing shit up for grabs around Bates or he'll make you pay. Vonn Bell fills well in the run game but isn't too great in coverage. CBs are all retreads.

I hadn't thought about Higgins and Chase, but good point. If KC has success creating early pressure, that could neutralize some of their dynamic ability.

This is one of those stats that doesn't tell you as much as you think it might unless you look at context.
Example: When you are blowing a lot of teams out, you tend to go into a shell and run vanilla offense late.
During this win streak, the Chiefs have outscored opponents 233-103. That works out to 29.25-12.875 as an average score. |
