I think so too. Shut down the run and force him to throw the ball. His effectiveness in the passing game is built on their run game. Sets up easy play action throws for him, etc.
The one time this year when he was forced to throw the ball a bunch (43 times against KC), it was not a pretty performance...and that was against a pretty crappy Chiefs defense. [Reply]
Amazing that the only team that the Ravens seem to have trouble with is the Chiefs. Trying to keep with my letting go of the negative, I'm considering that the NFL has a lot of luck involved. This Texans team held the Chiefs offense down and ran all over them.
Fluke... it has to be a fluke... Because otherwise, it's because... Chiefs. [Reply]

Trying to think of what that would look like for KC... let’s say they go 6 DBs.
I’d probably use Mathieu up closer to the LOS. Thornhill deep, Ward and Claiborne at corner outside. Fuller slot. Then probably Sorensen as mid level defender. [Reply]

They didn't stop the Chiefs offense until Mahomes' ankle got messed up. Same thing with the Colts. [Reply]
