Chiefs A Levelheaded Review Wk18

DenverChief · 06:43 PM

1. DEFENSE - is the story of today. 6 sacks and 4 turnovers (2 on downs). Everyone is firing at the right time. Holding the Raiders to 13 points after they went off on the 49ers.

2. Kadarius Toney - just goes to show how speed kills in the the redzone. He and Hardman make a huge difference when the field is short. That will make our offense more explosive in the playoffs.

3. Field position and the punting game. What a phenomenal job by TT at pinning the Raiders deep on multiple drives (4 and 6 yard line) and giving the Defense plenty of field to work with. That is how you protect your defense. The only Raiders scores were when they started at the 25 after a kickoff.

4. Pacheco just keeps getting better 64 yards rushing and a TD today finishing the regular season with 830 yards and 5 TD's rushing. ROJO in relief looks amazing - glad we held him back for the end of the season. I think he will add another dimension to our running game.

5. The secondary is really gelling as well. Had a couple of dropped picks but more than made up for it with solid efforts like Reid with the awesome pass breakup vs Darren Waller in the 3rd Q.

6. Special teams (Punting and PR) seemed to have cleaned up their act. No bad mistakes and some great awareness to pin the Raiders deep in their own territory after booming kicks by TT.

7. Chris Jones and Mike Danna really made their presence felt today with 2.5 and 2 sacks respectively. Really letting it all hang out knowing the #1 seed was on the line. Really makes me happy that the Defense has really put it together at the right time.

8. The snow globe play was hilarious and it goes to show these guys are still having fun. That is incredibly important. I would rate this play (sans penalty) up there with the Rose Bowl play in the Super Bowl.

9. #1 Seed and Home Field Advantage*. We are truly blessed that every year the Road to the Super Bowl runs thru Arrowhead. The Arrowhead invitational sounds much better than the AFC Championship

10. Happy New Year and Go Chiefs!
