1) really good
2) really big and
3) there's often 5-6 of them.

They play old school trenches football better than maybe any team in the league right now. i didn't really believe it until last night, seeing it on the big screen in the living room by myself. They're playing 80's/90's run-centric football, very similar to the kind the Chiefs played back then.
And KC can't play that kind of football against TEN, period. We don't have the horses.
I think Andy tried to a bit, but quickly realized that was a mistake. We were never going to beat TEN at their own game. Andy needed to play the Chiefs game which is more sophisticated and less about beating the tar out of the opponent and more about outsmarting them.
