In defense of Sorenson here. Many NFL players who are fulltime starters strategically loaf at times when they think the play is over or they will no longer be in the play. Others like on defensive line in pass rush situations have admitted to taking plays off to rest.
Sorenson got burnt doing so but if all of the players caught loafing were benches, not many regular starters would be playing.
This all being said, if Chiefs have a clearly superior option, he should start in front of Sorenson. But I wouldn't overreact to a couple of bad plays when the pass rush wasn't very good.
