They also allowed 32 vs a weak Washington offense, and 33 vs the Packers in only 24 min (11 points higher than their average). Jordan Love played half the game and they still averaged 7 yds/play.
Most of the offenses they've faced are bottom 10ish in points per play. Including #32, 28, 27 x2, 26, 25 and 24. And of course they drew a 4th string QB last week, and Cooper Rush.
Reminds me a little of the "#1" Buffalo D last year. I also don't think their coverage schemes match up well w/ KC. That's not to say they can't cause problems for the Chiefs' offense, but I'm betting that Reid and Mahomes can have plenty of success if the offense is semi-healthy.

Detroit was a million years ago - week 1.
You can’t look at individual games. Any given Sunday. Chiefs lost to the Colts for instance.
I think some of you are cherry picking stats.
