Two years ago, the Kansas City Chiefs lucked their way into acquiring veteran defensive end Terrell Suggs for the final stretch of what eventually became their Super Bowl-winning season. Now, the team’s hoping another in-season addition to the defensive line will help lead to a title.
In this case, the word “help” may be understating what edge rusher Melvin Ingram provides.
It is still hard to believe: Ingram was traded by the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Chiefs for a sixth-round pick. Since his Kansas City debut in Week 9, he has been the clear starter opposite Frank Clark at defensive end — playing 123 more snaps than the third player in line.
