As the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Indianapolis Colts this weekend, they face the first of four games they will be without star linebacker Willie Gay Jr. Gay is suspended for Kansas City’s matchups with the Colts, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Las Vegas Raiders and Buffalo Bills.
The Chiefs are doing their part to keep Gay in a good place while he is away from the team, but what is left for the team’s defense on the field is a grand vacancy.
“We lose a lot of energy because he’s one of those energy guys with how he plays,” said defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
