The first three San Diego Chargers possessions in last weekend’s season opener against the Chiefs resulted in touchdowns.
Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton gave the opponent its due, but he said it wasn’t all because of the Chargers’ offensive wizardry. The home team’s defense contributed to the early scoring blitz, he said.
“There are always going to plays that are hard to defend,” Sutton said. “But I felt like we didn’t execute some of our core stuff as well as we needed to.”
The good news for the Chiefs was after that initial series of blows, the Chargers didn’t reach the end zone.
