My theory right now on ways you can effectively defend the Chiefs are this.
1) Be the Patriots, coached by Bill Belichick with an elite secondary, dropping 8 into coverage and forcing Mahomes to throw in tight windows often.
2) 49ers/Chargers cover 3/6 scheme with an elite front 4 that can get home on their own often.
But even still, neither of these two defensive strategies have ever worked for a full 4 quarters. We just have to be better about taking what they give underneath early on to set everything else up...
