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]

Gibsons liable to have 100+ rushing and 100+ receiving [Reply]

Lose any of the next 3 and you may be there. Washington and NYG because they're clearly inferior rosters. TN because that's ANOTHER tiebreaker lost to a potential AFC playoff team.
They've really burned up a lot of rope early in the season. It may take 11-6 to make the playoffs and that means they have to go 9-3 or better from here out. The margin for error has tightened up in a big, big way. [Reply]
