NEW ORLEANS -- The Kansas City Chiefs' offense tends to get most of the headlines. Quarterbacked by a generational talent in Patrick Mahomes with a head coach in Andy Reid so committed to innovation that by at least one account he literally still draws up plays in the dirt on the fly, it's easy to understand why. But if the Chiefs are to emerge with a record third straight Super Bowl championship against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in Super Bowl LIX, they'll need a total team performance. Enter the Kansas City defense, which despite being less flashy and heralded than its offensive counterpart, still brings talent as well as a clear identity to the proceedings.
