With Watson/Omenihu back in the fold and Johnson on the bench, in a roaring Arrowhead, I'd expect to contain Buffalo's offense better than last time. They caught the Chiefs when the defense was at its worst. I'd also expect Playoff Mahomes and the new Chiefs offense to pick their defense apart.
Buffalo seems really similar to the version KC faced in the divisional last year. Which would've probably been a comfortable win if not for Hardman's goal line fumble.
I think Baltimore's the tougher matchup. They're as good or better than Buffalo offensively, and much better defensively of late. People can talk about Spags' success vs Lamar, but Jackson's better than ever and played well in Arrowhead this year. The Chiefs won by an inch, when Baltimore's defense was struggling.
