They just can't let that happen again, regardless of personnel.
I know live I was thinking that Sorenson was likely involved in the coverage breakdowns, especially when they were moving the DBs around in the zone. Usually, in that morphing/disguised zone look, it's Danny boy either blowing his assignment or just being too slow to hit his assignment that's the problem.
I actually like Watts a bit if you're using him in the box safety/dime hybrid LB role. He's fast, he can hit, he tackles well, and he seems to read things OK in those spots.
But I don't want the guy playing deep, at all. [Reply]

The funny thing is, I don't remember Sorenson breaking down at all on Sunday. He did a respectable job all things considered. Everybody around him was just terrible. [Reply]

It's scary when Sorenson is arguably the best player in the secondary for ANY game. We need to tighten things up for Sunday. [Reply]
#Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo revealed that the team had a specfic Tyrann Mathieu-driven plan for Buffalo. KC lost Mathieu — one of the league’s most durable players — after just seven plays, and it did show. Spags credited Chiefs offense for keeping them playing.
We don't need to run the ball more and more importantly, we won't run the ball more. That's not what this team does.
Yep, I actually think the Chiefs should not concern themselves with ball control or trying to keep the ball away from Cincy's offense.
Be as aggressive as possible on offense, attacking Cincy's mediocre defense and put the pressure on Burrow/their offense to keep up with Mahomes in a high pressure playoff game, with a bad offensive line, in the loud Arrowhead environment, etc. [Reply]

The Chiefs need to play their game. If the Bengals are going to play cover 2, the TOP will come, as it has in most of the games down the stretch. They don't need to run the ball to do that - short passes accomplish the same thing and quite frankly, would you rather run a draw with McKinnon or a bubble screen to Hardman? I'll take the latter every time. [Reply]
All season the Chiefs were trying to figure out which runs would work best for their spread formations so Kelce can remain split out.
Against the Bills they sprinkled in a Y-Insert run play to much success. And it's a play I think they keep getting to against the Bengals. pic.twitter.com/Nhg7XVmQCG

"If it sounds like I'm trying to convince myself the Bengals have a shot this week, well, you nailed it! ...if I'm going to love the underdog to cover, I may as well go all the way." [Reply]
