I don't think it can be overstated how much DT's death affected the Chiefs franchise and our defensive identity. 20 years removed, and we STILL haven't gotten it back. schemes and players have come and gone, the league has changed dramatically, but that does nothing to change the fact that this franchise has yet to field a defense that plays with that kind of intensity.
Regularly. Game after game, season after season.
