There are better days ahead for the Kansas City Chiefs pass rush. There simply have to be, even if we’re just leaning into the numbers.
It’s not that the Chiefs have encountered a worst-case scenario in terms of the defense’s ability to get after the quarterback this season. That’s not the case at all. Justin Houston is the centerpiece here and his health is the key to any best or worst case situation. So far, so good in 2017.
Outside of Houston, however, the Chiefs have seriously struggled to force passers to make many mistakes. Injuries have taken a toll.
