McNeill is a brutal loss for them.
That defense is MUCH better when he's on his game. And it's seemed like he's been struggling with dings/injuries all year.
He was, similar to Hollywood for us, a key to unlocking their ceiling. He's one of those guys that can generate genuine pressure from a 0-technique. Those are more rare even than Jones ability to do so from a 1/3 technique.
He's a hell of a player that seemed to be finding his form again over the 2nd half. And that defense was thin anyway - they were flat-out bad last season and they needed every one of the additions they made to get to decent.
Yeah - they're gonnna look a lot like the 2018 Chiefs but I don't think Goff is the sort of guy that can pull a game from the fire. He's not a guy who can give them three of the pristine games they'll need from him to get to the SB.
That's brutal.
Hope they enjoyed all the credit they got for dog-walking shitty teams. Because that's going to be the apex of their season. They may struggle to keep Minnesota behind them at this point.
