If there were a defense tailor made for the strengths of the chargers O it would be the chiefs. Our D can't stop runs thru the a-gaps unless they send the house and they're starting 2 rookie safeties on the back end.
Guess what Norv Turners O is predicated off of?
Down hill runs right up the gut and play action off of that to open up the deep passing game. (Norvs receivers typically avg ~18 yds/catch - even a lot of the not so good ones).
So, either Ryan Matthews will hit a buck 50 or Rivers will throw for 300. It's probably gonna be a long night.
I fully expect the Chiefs to do what they have to do to get some semblance of run fits, at least initially, but it's a losing proposition playing 9 men in the box for an entire game against a strong downfield passing team.
