In the Kansas City Chiefs’ 23-14 Divisional round victory over the Houston Texans on Saturday, the Kansas City defense recorded eight sacks of Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud.
That began with excellent coverage by cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, who played together for the first time since Watson was injured in Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers. Per Pro Football Focus, they turned in grades of 74.1 and 72.1 respectively to lead the team. Between them, they collected four passes defensed — and no Texans receiver caught a touchdown pass against any defender.
