The much-maligned Kansas City Chiefs defense continued its turnaround in Sunday’s 22-9 win over the Denver Broncos. During the team’s current five-game winning streak, the unit has been among the league’s best, turning the season around in spite of continued struggles on offense.
“Defense again had a nice game,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid remarked after the game. “It was beautiful to watch. The pressure we put on [Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater] and the way we were able to sustain against the run game.”
The Chiefs defense was disciplined — and even through difficult stretches, continued to battle.
