Chiefs defense ranked as one of the worst in the NFL by USA Today

“Expect a lot of shootouts in Kansas City this season.”

That’s the bottom line from USA Today’s Steven Ruiz, who ranked all 32 NFL defenses and put the Chiefs near the bottom at No. 29. The three teams ranked behind the Chiefs: the Giants, Raiders and Colts, who were last.

The Chiefs’ defense has a lot of question marks, Ruiz believes, but he doesn’t expect great things.

Ruiz wrote: “CB Kendall Fuller should be a fine replacement for Marcus Peters but he’s not going to be the playmaker the new Rams corner had been for Kansas City.
