LAS VEGAS— No deficit has seemed too large for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ quick-strike offense during a four-season run that includes two Super Bowl titles.
Now, Kansas City is in a position to defend its championship — because of its defense.
The Chiefs (7-3) enter Sunday’s game against the host Las Vegas Raiders ranking in the top four in total, scoring and pass defense. They must hope that kind of defensive effort isn’t wasted by an offense that’s oddly still trying to find itself.
The Chiefs have been shut out in the second half of their last three games and scored 53 points total after the break this season, both of those the worst in the league. At fault are myriad issues: penalties, blown assignments, execution, dropped passes and poor play-calling, all of which have put tremendous pressure on the defense.
Kickoff is at 3:25 Sunday afternoon, pregame begins at 2 on K-Kountry 95
