This game had a lot to like and a lot to not like on both sides of the ball. But anytime you beat a division rival for the 7th time in a row is a GREAT win.
Offense. The offense was not at their best today. They missed a few chances. They had some protection issues. Mahomes made some young QB mistakes. (Something I think we all knew was going to happen this year) There are things that they have to get worked out for sure from this game. But here's the great news with that. Even with all of that the offense still put up 30 points. There have been "good days" for our offense in the past few years that did not end up with us getting 30 points. Now even on an off day we can get there. That will keep us in just about every game this year. And may have to a lot of weeks. Next week they are going to be facing a solid D. The Browns are decent on defense. So they will have some test next week.
A couple of shoutouts to Watkins and Hunt. They were huge for the offense today. ON a day that Kelce and Hill were not as much as a factor as they normally are that's what you need. Isn't it amazing to have an offense that has some depth to do and not be so reliant on one or two guys. I love it myself
Defense. There's a lot of this game that makes me want to go on one of my full Bob Sutton rants. The Run D is the biggest worry (AGAIN) But I'm not going to do that. The D despite doing a lot to hurt us also did a LOT to help come up with this win. Coming up with a couple of major turnovers. Or getting a timely sack that helped end a Denver drive. They did their fair share to get the win today. And that can not be overlooked. But like the offense, there is a lot to be concerned about. Anytime you let Case Keenum go down the field in less than a minute you need to get some things worked on. That just can't happen. But it was better today then it was at the start of the year. And we were even missing Houston. So you also have to take that into account. But they HAVE to get this run d figured out. It is a must. That has and will cost you in the playoffs. I really don't want to see that happen to us yet again.
It was also kind of nice to be on the other side of a coach not managing the clock. We have seen that happen to us at times. But never to that level. Denver is not just missing a QB. They are also in need of a coaching upgrade. Lets hope they never find it :)
Overall this wasn't the Chiefs best game. But you have to expect a very tight game from a division rival that's just common. And getting 7 wins in a row against Denver is Very enjoyable. Now on to next week. The Browns are not great but we can't overlook them. LETS GET IT DONE. GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
