The Chiefs are a far cry from having an elite passer. If you look close enough at Alex Smith, you’ll see Trent Dilfer. He’s the epitome of a game manager — a guy that cannot win a game by himself and in order for his team to claim victory, he must be as mistake-free as possible.
That’s where the Kansas City defense comes in. And like a smooth, smoky barbecue sauce, this defensive front seven has smothered just about every quarterback this season. Justin Houston, one of the league’s best pass rushers alongside J.J. Watt, and Tamba Hali on the other side, are programmed to attack the passer.
