Through the three preceding entering Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Kansas City Chiefs season had been characterized by a simple fact: the offense will have to be incredibly efficient — and if it isn’t, the Chiefs may give up too many points and lose.
Sunday’s game didn’t really do much to change that — though it was an obvious step in the right direction to get the 42-30 victory. The problems that we have seen in the Chiefs defense — the miscommunication, the missed tackles and the general lack of quarterback pressure — persisted, but the difference on Sunday was that the Chiefs didn’t turn the ball over four times.
