Actually, it was. It does better against the pass. If you have Mahomes as QB, you can expect to be playing with the lead more often than not. In which case, it only makes sense to design the defense to defend against the pass.
If, as many of us hypothesize, the refs make calls in an attempt to keep games "competitive", it is egregiously unfair to a team like KC that is built to get an early lead and just run away with the game.
