Physically is usually referring to teams that can line up one versus one and beat you, man on man. They don't need to scheme to dominate you.
Basically the opposite of what the Chiefs have been doing since 1999 (that's as far back as I can go...). They haven't had the horses, on either side of the ball but primarily on defense, so they've tried to outsmart teams to cover roster deficiencies.
The 2019 Chiefs are kind of unique in that they're a heavy scheme team that can/will also physically dominate you on both sides of the ball.
It's probably something we're only going to see once. Mahomes on a rookie deal is the only way we could have ever built a roster this loaded on both sides of the ball.
