Why does it always feel like the sky’s falling after a Chiefs loss?? Fans & media take the fun away in watching bc of unrealistic expectations for this team year in and year out. For a team depending on so many young players, I felt like it was a strong showing for the Chiefs

I feel like there’s not enough content for casual fans when it comes to pass rushing. So I’m going to start breaking down some of my favorite clips from each week. Here’s the criteria: Only clean wins. No half sacks. Players highlighted must play on the Dline. Enjoy!

Outstanding hands here on the inside counter by Chris Jones. Lifting the guard by his elbow doesn’t allow him to hand replace, therefore giving Chris the clean win. Well done C-Nasty!!

Chiefs have done a great job of putting Chris at DE in big time passing situations. He’s not out there often, but when he is, he makes opposing offenses pay! KC experimented with this last year. Feels like they’ve finally found the appropriate amount of reps for him on the edge

The Hi/Lo rush game is a creative way of dictating where the QB scrambles. Chris rushes “low” by making an inside move, while Frank rushes “high.” Thinking he can break contain to the right, the QB has no awareness of Frank coming backside. Chiefs execute this at a high level

A lot of tackles in the league do this. Refs never make the call. DE’s have to adjust by keying the tackle’s knee instead of the ball
The officials' failure to call pre-snap penalties on Chiefs RT Jawaan Taylor became comical on Thursday night; the NFL is lucky the Lions won the game.

Pats overloaded the left side of the line. DT grabs the guard’s attention and pulls him wide. Nose guard works the center in the opposite direction allowing Judon to come free on the tex game. Judon gets credited on the sack, but the two DT’s made this play happen 🔥

Loved the process on the this rush from Cam. After he throws his chop, he couldn’t quite get the back of the pad on the pull-slide. So he immediately counters with a forearm lift, which frees him for the big sack. Cam still looks like he could play forever
