Outside of the Dallas game the Chiefs have won TOP every week and by some good margins. That's part of the reason the Chiefs have had the field position they have. It's not just the d has played well. It's that instead of just going 3 and out the Chiefs manage to get a 1st or 2 a good amount of the time. They get the ball between the 40s and seem to stall out. That allows Dustin to do his thing and why they get the good field position. It's not just about the defense folks. It's mostly about the D but the offense hasn't been as useless as some think

Yeah, just look at the first KC offensive possession vs Tennessee. We are around midfield.. stuck in 3rd and 15 due to yet another O-penalty... Alex hits McCluster and he gets the first down... oh, but wait... an offensive penalty on Avery negates that and sets us back further.
There have been lots of those situations that have cost us extended drives. They have to clean this stuff up... all very fixable mistakes.
