As did Chris Jones, who looked like he not only got himself a sack, but played the run fairly well for the most part.

Tyrann Mathieu had an up and down day, but it was Tyrann and Clark that stopped that Kerryon attempt at the 1-yard line that ended with Breeland picking up the fumble and running it back for a Chiefs TD. The tally sheet has X. Williams making the stop, but the film shows quite clearly that it was Tyrann and Clark that make the play. Williams cleans it up.

I believe it's coach Daly that is in charge of the DL, and if that's the case, he deserves some credit for putting together some nice packages. Though there were some obvious breakdowns that allowed some big yardage on the ground. However, you can quite clearly see that he's making adjustments throughout the game and some of those adjustments worked almost perfectly. X. Williams needs to stay in his lane though.

The biggest weakness in the front-seven was the LB play. We need them to get a lot more aggressive. Hesitation LBs created the worst breakdowns, so far as I could tell.

However, I think that the players are buying into Spag's scheme. They looked more comfortable, even just from the Ravens game that I re-watched Saturday, to the Lions game. There's still a lot of communication issues, and too many times when guys look unsure about what their assignment is. But less than the previous game.

I think we'll get by Indy just by taking advantage of their injury-ridden defense. Houston should be a real trial of fire. Obviously Watson is going to be the best QB the Chiefs see this season so far.

Watson is good, but not as good as Rodgers, Brady and Rivers.
