They hit those and KC would have had a 26-17 lead and Buffalo would have needed to score a TD and get an onside kick to have a chance. Or had the offense been able to close out the game when they had a 20-17 lead things would have been different.
The defense still needs to grow and we still need a pass rusher in the worst way, but I can’t see how they are getting criticized for their performance so far.

It's all about performance against expectation.
The defense is doing what it needs to do, despite the warts. Can they get better? Yes. Will they get better? Probably.
The offense is a big problem right now. They need to put together more drives.
