LONDON – This season is suddenly starting to look like the Kansas City Chiefs envisioned. It’s not so much because of their offense, though the Chiefs did explode for a season-high 45 points in Sunday’s blowout victory over the Detroit Lions at Wembley Stadium.
An offense that converts on a vast majority of its third-down plays while scoring a touchdown on six of its seven tries inside the opponent 20-yard line, as the Chiefs did in beating the Lions 45-10, doesn’t hurt.
But the defense is leading this turnaround. The Chiefs snuffed an opponent for the 2nd straight week, this time getting six sacks and a pair of interceptions.
