Plus 3 points from the punt return fumble in the Jacksonville game. 10 points in garbage time after the Chicago game was 41-0 in the 3rd quarter. They've pretty much only allowed 7 points per game when you really look closer at it.
That said, I still want to see the Chiefs defense against some of the better QB's and offenses. The proof will be in the pudding against Miami, Buffalo, Cincy, and Philly. I'll throw the Chargers offense in there too. [Reply]

Actually blowouts are taken into account to nullify instead of amplify the numbers. [Reply]
This could actually be the first year in the Mahomes era that the Chiefs have an above average defense. We need to see them against a top QB though. [Reply]

Holding them to 20 (18 if you don't count the safety) is pretty good considering Mahomes was the Jets' best friend for a large portion of the game. [Reply]
