The only other issue is stopping the run. But as much as I like Mixon (another former Sooner, so I'm a fan), he isn't consistently a top tier RB, so I expect unless he just has a breakout type of day KC will keep him under control for the most part. Though he probably will break off at least one big run (20+ yds) somewhere in the game.
Basically we're playing LAC again.

But with our defense healthy. Missing Chris jones and willie gay was huge.
One of the big turnarounds for spags is he seems to be way more judicious about using the blitz. Burrow can pick up blitzes. I think he’ll throw him off with coverages. And I almost wonder if teams have played burrow so safe with zone that spags will give him aggressive looks he’s not prepared for.
And if we get a lead spags is gonna turn up the juice and burrow will be playing with some desperation. Especially if our offense is humming. He will be sending the house after burrow if we get cushion.
