No, that's not what happened.
The Patriots are a top rushing team in the league. They ran over the Chargers to a tune of 200+ rushing yards.
The Chiefs, all season, have had the worst rush D in the league.
We all KNEW this was a rebuilding mode defense coming into the season. We KNEW that.
But we got lost in the hype, and the chance at a SB, and seemingly forgot what we knew LAST offseason, that this D was going to be rebuilt.
The Patriots went with big bodies all game, went max protect and just ran it on the Chiefs because like all season, they cant stop the run.
This was a matter of matchups, and the Pats big bodies simply man handled ours until we overloaded the D line, leaving the back end exposed.
