I have a feeling this guy will have more than one playoff win with the Chiefs
As we see every year, the overall health of a team is a critical component.
As to the Chiefs specifically; much of the talk in KC is that it will be up to the defense as to how far they will go. Nothing new there.
I mean....The Chiefs last 5 playoff games, they held their opponents to an average of 22.4ppg, and that number is heavily inflated by a 45 point performance in 2013.
The Chiefs defense has not been the problem, nor is it what determined how far they went. They gave up 18 points and 22 points the last 2 playoff games they played, and both were losses. The defense has not been the problem.
The defense was largely to blame in the Tennessee game. They came out well rested from half time and gave up a 9 minute drive in which a 2nd string RB went through them like water through a hose. Of course it is fair to mention that Dee Ford was not available, Hali should have had a cane, Johnson should have been in a rocking chair...but there was no one else who could play.
All water under the bridge...
The Chiefs scored 0 points in the 2nd half.
The Chiefs had 56 total offensive yards in the 2nd half.
The Chiefs had 4 first downs in the 2nd half, 3 of which were on the last drive of the game, netting 29 total yards and turning it over on downs.
The offense was more at fault than the defense. They literally just needed to convert a few third downs, and they would have won the game.
