1. Stop Taylor Heinicke, who is playing surprisingly well.
2. Boatrace an absolutely dreadful Washington defense.
Heinicke's mobility could be an issue for us. But he is not going to make throws like Allen made last night.
We need to block Montez Sweat, who is an extremely fast pass rusher for Washington (4.4 40 yard dash at 262 lbs). He scares me a little if he lines up against Niang.
I think the Chiefs offense gets right against a pretty bad defense and we win 35-24 or so. This isn't a good team. [Reply]
I’m looking forward to seeing my Chiefs in person on Sunday with my teenage sons. Funny how they have grown up in the DC area but have always been Chiefs fans, not really interested in the Washington Footballs at all. (I am from KC and certainly brainwashed them)
On one hand, they are the two worst defenses in the NFL, so it could be crazy. But Mahomes, Kelce, Hill and our new OL are >> than Heinecke and miscellaneous others. We win, 42-24 but give up a lot of yards. [Reply]

We are going to win this football game!
This, the Chiefs need a confidence boost moving forward. Get this win and move forward! [Reply]
Washington has an elite DL that will be a huge test for our young OL. Young, Allen and Sweat are all capable of commanding double teams and wrecking the game. If our OL is up to the task, we should be able to get to .500. [Reply]

Agreed, Chris Jones not playing or practicing through a wrist “contusion” while the defense is a raging dumpster fire. [Reply]
I would love to think that all of the controversy swirling around them is a huge distraction, and that it will affect them deeply
But the truth is I'm not counting on it...
That defense is simply too talented to suck like this forever, they could well be a buzzsaw on sunday
Throw in a very game Heinecke surrounded by some outstanding weapons against this historically bad defense... and this could EASILY be a life or death dogfight [Reply]
