We know that level of defense will not work against the best teams in the league when it matters most, even if we have Patrick Mahomes. So seeing that performance probably opened up some old wounds. |

Holding a divisional opponent to 20 points or less, on the road, is fantastic, especially when the defense is missing 4 starters. Had the offense been more efficient, I doubt many people would be complaining about the final score. |

This defense looks just like it did last year. And that defense went out and beat the Ravens fairly handily. They're going to be fine. |

This goes all the way back to the Smith days. Really going back to like 2016 we'd have games where we'd lose to the Bucs or Texans and give up like 19 points and my buddy would always be like "damn defense just CANNOT give up that score in the 4th...." And I'd just be like "hey man - the Defense gave the offense about 7 shots to actually get something done and win that game..." But there was no convincing him. I can remember one time where I really think the D directly murdered the offense's chance to compete - the Titans playoff game. They were so ineffective and so interminably slow in dying that it wrecked any offensive rhythm we had and made any single possession entirely too overpowered. But typically if you can keep a team below 24 points in today's NFL, you've held serve. It doesn't mean you've been incredible, but you've not been awful. And with this offense, 24 should really be the target mark for the D. Keep the other guys below that and you'll win 80% of the time. On Sunday the Chiefs D was battered and ugly, but they did that. Hard to hang much on 'em really. Especially when they held LAC to 3 points in the 2nd half/OT. They did their job, IMO.

Seeing that many missed tackles is suuuuper frustrating though. |

Considering they were without their best run stopper in Pennel, without Khalen Saunders, without Frank Clark and without Charvarious Ward, I think their defensive performance was an A-.
Comparing yesterday performance to Sutton's 2018 defense is ridiculous. Those guys couldn't stop anyone when they had their full compliment of starters, let alone when missing four key players. Out of the 15 games played this week, the only Road teams that held their opposition to 20 points or less were Chiefs, Rams, Ravens and 49ers, all of whom won their respective games. The Giants allowed the Bears to score 19 points in a loss. |

We say we were missing players but so were the Chargers and their injuries were arguably more significant. They just had the misfortune of going against a GOAT QB leading a GOAT offense. They still did a pretty good job. Meanwhile, we were going against an OL down two starters and a rookie QB. I think people expected to dominate given the circumstances. |

The 2014 Sutton defense was one of the best in Chiefs history. |
