Or are you going to determine your best bet is to sit in safer zone coverage and dare KC to beat you with sustained drives, hoping to force turnovers or have drives stall due to lack of execution by KC?
It gets even shakier if Johnson can't go.

If I was in McDermott's shoes, I would force KC to go for the deep ball. It's a low percentage play and the Chiefs are not good at it. Mahomes is not accurate on the deeper throws and the receivers are not very good at route-running or tracking the ball in the air.
