Defense for the win
Chiefs D held a hot offense to 10 points through 5 full quarters. An offense that had dropped 30 on the pats and ravens.
They gave up a lot of 3rd down conversions, but no crushing big plays (though spiller was open for a td late in the game after smoking dj, overthrown luckily). And dj dropped 2 ints, one of which was a pick 6. Should have been even more dominate a performance. Most notable was the fact we had guys making game changing plays at every level of the D. The whole DL really. Until Bills went to quick hitting passes, our dl was mauling the bills OL. Dorsey is a man: he just owns his side of the field. Totally dominate against the run, and he chases plays. Hali: Prison rape...the only accurate description of what Hali did to the Bills RT. Hali is relentless, and powerful. He sent the RT back several yards with just a pop at the snap...several times. And he made plays at key moments. And he gets held without punishment. Dude is waaay better than anyone imagined, regardless of the fact that everyone on the planet now claims they knew he was an all pro 3-4 OLB two years ago.....yeah.....right...posers Flowers: In spite of getting caught a couple times late, he was stellar again. Hits hard and without fear. Has perfect technique on coverage. Plays physical coverage. Plays with a swagger. And caused a fumble which would have won us the game but for the bad luck of vrable being out of bounds. Berry: In spite of being compared to Jackson by board idiots, he lead the team in tackles with 7, had a crucial late int (his second game in a row with an int). And his tackles were huge...twice he stone cold stopped players short of a first down. Like Flowers, he plays fearless, hits hard, has a swagger. Has more to learn, but was a crucial part of a top notch defensive effort against a solid passing offense. I haven't even mentioned Belcher, who is just like a mob enforcer...quiet, remorseless, harmful..or good plays by stude, gilberry, vrabel, etc. Our best players are young and ascending. Love watching this defense.....(still need a nt and a heart transplant for jackson though) |
