They had Houston inside and sent Hitchens on a loop, IIRC. That pulled protection that could've helped out inside on Houston away and he just mauled that poor bastard guard (maybe it was the C). That interior lineman didn't have anywhere near the quickness to stay in front of him and Houston's hand-fighting skills are second to none. He just slapped the punch away and ran right past him. And Houston will do that to just about any guard in the league. There were some really nice schematic adjustments/wrinkles on Saturday. It really was a command performance pretty much across the board.

Mike Smith basically telling everyone with his quotes that having these pass rushers is completely changing the way opposing offenses play (throwing it extremely quickly).
No way Andy lets Ford walk for nothing. |

I don't much care what offensive line you trot out there.
Brady reads blitzes very well, and the Chiefs have the best 1-2-3 punch in football. Send Houston/Ford/Jones and dare the Pats to block them. No offensive line can. |

I mean that's just perfect for what the Patriots would like to do IF you can get Nnadi/Jones firm up the gut while Houston/Ford maintained the edges. With a healthy DoD alongside Ragland, that formation would be awfully tough for the Patriots to have their way with unless they just pounded it up the middle. And I suspect that's exactly what they'd try. So it would come down to how Nnadi and Jones held their ground and if they could do enough for the guys behind them to rally to the ball.

We definitely should take chances. Can Tom Brady really beat us over the top at his age in the bitter cold, dry, heavy air? Contest the short stuff.

Ward and Lucas have helped this defense immensely.

Think about that 3rd and 8ish throw to Ebron in the (IIRC) mid-2nd. The Chiefs were up 14 or 17 at that point and Luck hit Ebron about 2 yards short of the sticks. If it's Scandrick/Parker that's an easy first but Ward him him hard and stood him straight up while the rest of the D rallied to the ball and finished the tackle off to force the punt. It was one of those plays that we've seen other teams make this year and though "c'mon guys - why the hell can't we do that? That's just effort..."
Ward put his nose in there and stopped a much larger man just long enough to let the cavalry get there and gang-tackle instead of getting dragged past the marker. It was textbook and it doesn't happen with the old personnel on the field.
