This matchup is a lot easier now for NE than it was in week 6. Hunt was the nightmare matchup for us because he was an explosive playmaker in both the run and pass game, and we had to put so much attention on him. We can focus more on Tyreek Hill in this game, and although Williams has accumulated good yardage on the ground, he's nowhere near the playmaker Hunt was. Plus, our secondary is much better since JC Jackson has been a starter. Jackson has the lowest passer rating allowed in the entire league since he became a starter, and has shut down guys like Thielen and JuJu.
On defense, the Chiefs play a lot of Cover 3 and Cover 1. If they play Cover 3, they will get picked apart like the Chargers did. We also have a lot of concepts on offense that allows us to efficiently pick apart Cover 1. We will also be able to run the ball effectively on KC's non-existent run defense. KC will have Houston this time around, but that will be irrelevant. They can't cover and Brady will get the ball out of his hands too quickly for the pass rush to get to him.
This has all the makings of a 31-13 NE win.
