If you asked 100 people what single thing they believed derailed the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl defense in 2020, 99 of them would say the same thing: Injuries.
Unlucky, sure. But it cannot be denied that the understudies playing on that long evening in Tampa back in February simply weren’t up to the task in front of them.
Once a team has gone through the type of defeat the Chiefs did in the biggest game of the season, the last thing they want to happen is for it to happen again. Injuries aren’t something you can predict, but you can at least try and prepare for them.
