If you blitz heavy and leave ASB one on one Goff will find him all day.

I agree re: Blitzes. That's standard. You have to disguise and get on the QB quickly, while doing things on the back end to muck things up.
Spagnuolo is one of the best around at just that.
Goff is very accurate from a clean pocket and when things are on schedule. If things break down, he doesn't have mutant physical gifts to just make something happen (Allen, Hurts, Mahomes, Herbert, Jackson) or unbelievable calm and poise (Burrow, Rodgers).
Which is why he's in that next group of QBs.
Chiefs will have to shine at disguising and have some good wrinkles for dealing with the gap scheme of the Lions' run game. One thing they've used against gap in the past is lining up a LB in the 0 gap to force the C to engage head-on rather than double-teaming and then working downfield.
I am intrigued to see if KC trots out a modified 3-3-5 without Jones that features Bolton flanked by Chenal and Gay, who have speed and power to function like a DE in the run game.
