Johnson was the most consistent he's been in a bit. Charles is the one who showed very little in his few chances.
DL and LB kept pressure on Campbell/Odd Todd and Hali had several pressures, sacks and the safety. The LB's were hardly invisible.
No, this team is not perfect, but this was a better and more consistent effort than I've seen this season.

The problem with the o-line still remains consistency. Having time to throw the ball isn't a luxury if the QB is continuously scared that 3 seconds into the snap, there's going to be rushers in his face. Even when there isn't pressure, the QB's always thinking about it.
Because to me, Haynesworth was owning the Chiefs' offensive line all game. And nothing is worse for a QB than a DT who is always getting up in his face, even if the protection isn't perfect. The protection was better, but that's like bragging about smelling mostly like shit instead of completely like shit.
