I expect the Titans game in Arrowhead to be similar. Would Buffalo have looked any more dominant in AZ than the Chiefs did? It would be hard to be much better than 37-7 to start the 4th quarter, and a first down on every other play.
And who's to say that Buffalo wouldn't struggle with LAC? I wish they played this year.

I think LAC is just uniquely well designed to beat KC (and they still typically don't manage to do so).
Derwin James being able to lock onto Kelce is just such a big deal. There just aren't many guys with his combination of physicality and athleticism. That said, he's NOT as athletic as Diggs. So in that regard, the Chiefs are a better matchup for SD.
Additionally, I think Gabe Davis is just a better 2nd option that we have. And while the Chiefs has a fantastic interior offensive line, that's not where the Chargers make their bones. They attack the Ts and I think the Bills have an edge there w/ Dawkins and Brown.
The Chargers, as well they should have been, are designed to be a difficult matchup for the Chiefs. And so no, I don't think the Bills would struggle with them as much as we do. But I don't really give a rip.
It does kindof surprise me that the Chiefs haven't seemed too terribly interested in trying to counter anything LAC is doing. Or Buffalo for that matter.
They're racing the track and not the drivers. And in a perfect world that's how you do it. But that approach is gonna bite you a bit during 'reload' cycles like this where you're not where you want to be yet, nor are you specifically tailored to get through your primary competition when they're at their respective apexes (and I think it's fair to say both SD and Buffalo are at that apex right now).
But like I said - better win it now, fellas. Because this likely is as good as it gets for you fellas.
